The X chromosome is one of the two sex-determining chromosomes found in both males and
females.
Females have two X chromosomes, whereas males have one X and one Y chromosome.
Both males and females retain one of their mother's X chromosomes, and females retain their
second X chromosome from their father.
Since the father retains his X chromosome from his mother, a human female has one X
chromosome from her paternal grandmother (father's side), and one X chromosome from her
mother.
