Sexes, male and female are distinct in all higher animals including human. Hereditary differences are quite pronounced in male and female individuals.1. Sex of an organism is associated with certain chromosomes, known as sex chromosomes. In human the sex chromosomes are XY in male and XX in female.2. The male which is heterozygous, produces two types of gametes or sperm X and Y. The homozygous female produces only one type of gamete or ovum X.3. An ovum fertilized with Y bearing sperm gives rise to a male offspring (XY) while an ovum fertilized with X bearing sperm produces a female (XX)4. The maleness and femaleness of the offsprings is dependent on the type of sex chromosomes in the zygote.5. The only difference between male and female sex is that the male has a haploid set and the female a diploid set of sex chromosomes.*
