Humans have 23 pairs of chromosomes, including 22 pairs inherited from each parent and sex chromosomes (XX for female, XY for male).

“now humans have 23 pairs of chromosomes so for each pair what that means is we get one chromosome from the mother one chromosome from the father and um the only thing that is a bit wonky here of course is that there are two of those that are sex specific so we have 22 pairs that you could you know that would look identical from uh mother or father and then you have your sex chromosomes which if you are in most cases phenotypically female you would have an X and an X if you are phenotypically male you would have an X and A Y”
