  • I receive a few enquiries on questions 14 & 15. Here are some tips. Humans and some mammals have the XY sex-determination system. In this system, females have two of the same kind of sex chromosome (XX). Males have two distinct sex chromosomes (XY). Its the presence (or absence)of Y chromosomes that determine the gender. 🙂
