How many autosomes and sex chromosomes do males and females have? What are the sex chromosomes? Thank you!|||22 pairs of autosomes and a pair if sex chromosomes. They are labelled X and Y. An XX pairing is female and XY is male.|||well it depends on what species you're talking about. human was already mentioned (with the exception of certain rare cases)
birds have a ZW sex determination scheme where ZW = female, ZZ=male. even more exotic is sex determination in platypii; i think they systems seems to be determined by the ratio of X to Y or something like that.|||23 pairs total,
22 autosome pairs,
1 sex pair,
XX in women
XY in males
happy genetics!
