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.

⇒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.
