• In human beings, every somatic cell of the body contains 23 pairs of chromosomes.

• Out of these 23 pairs, the first 22 pairs are known asautosomes and the remaining one pair is known as sex chromosomes represented as X and Y.

• Females have two X chromosomes and males have one X and one Y chromosome.

• The gamete receives half of the chromosomes.

• Therefore, the male gametes have 22 autosomes and either X or Y chromosome.

• The female gamete, on the other hand, has 22 autosomes and X chromosome.

• During reproduction, the male and female gametes fuse and thus the progeny receives 22 autosomes and one X or Y chromosome from male parent and 22 autosomes and one X chromosome from the female parent.
