Human chromosomes (human normal karyotype). #278899733
Description
Humans have 23 pairs of chromosomes, with one set inherited from each parent. The main difference between the karyotype of a female and a male lies in the sex chromosomes. Females have two X chromosomes (XX), while males have one X and one Y chromosome (XY). This difference in sex chromosomes determines the biological sex of an individual and contributes to the development of specific sexual characteristics and reproductive functions. Other chromosomes in the karyotype remain the same between males and females.
