  1. Two X chromosomes
    • According to 2 sources
    The typical human karyotype contains 22 pairs of autosomal chromosomes and one pair of sex chromosomes. The most common karyotypes for a female contain two X chromosomes and are denoted for the sex XX. Males usually have both an X and a Y chromosome, denoted for the sex XY.
    Females have two X chromosomes (XX), while males have one X and one Y chromosome (XY). So, if the 23rd pair consists of two X chromosomes, the karyotype is female.
