Vedclass · Answer

(B) In humans,sex determination is governed by the presence of specific sex chromosomes ($XX$ in females and $XY$ in males). These chromosomes are present in the germ cells (gametes) which determine the sex of the offspring upon fertilization. While somatic cells also contain these chromosomes,the fundamental mechanism of sex determination is defined by the chromosomal constitution of the germ cells (sperm and egg) that fuse to form the zygote.
