Sex is determined by the combination of 2 sex chromosomes – X and Y
The male body has a combination of XY, and the female has XX
When gametes are formed, each gamete receives one chromosome
Male gametes – X or Y, Female only X
If an egg with an X chromosome is fertilized by a sperm with a Y chromosome, then you get a boy (X + Y = XY), and if with an X chromosome, you get a girl (X + X = XX)
