Answer:

True.

Step-by-step explanation:

Both males and females have equal number of chromosomes i.e. 46.

Both males and females have 22 pair of chromosomes and 1 pair of sex chromosomes.

Sex chromosomes in females consist of 2 X chromosomes.

Sex chromosomes in males consist of 1X and 1Y chromosome.

The difference in the sex chromosomes is responsible for the different genders.

β‡’It is concluded that although males and females both have equal number of chromosomes but the X and Y chromosome differ in shape. Hence, it is implied that male and female chromosomes differ in shape.
