As explained on other pages, the sex chromosomes (ie. gender determining chromosomes) are the X and Y chromosomes. A man has one X and one Y chromosome, and a woman has two X chromosomes. X chromosomes are not clonal, and will "recombine" when the egg is formed. The inheritance pattern is more complicated as you will see below:

Inheritance pattern for Males
(one X chromosome from their mother)

Inheritance pattern for Females
(one X chromosome from each parent)
