  • Understanding Sex Chromosomes: The Single Chromosome in Human Cells
    The answer is a sex chromosome.

    Here's why:

    * Chromosomes: Humans have 23 pairs of chromosomes, totaling 46 chromosomes.

    * Pairs: Most chromosomes exist in pairs, one from each parent.

    * Sex Chromosomes: The 23rd pair are the sex chromosomes. They determine your biological sex.

    * Females: XX - Two X chromosomes

    * Males: XY - One X and one Y chromosome

    Therefore, in a male cell, only one Y chromosome is present.
