Both X and Y chromosomes are sex chromosomes that determine an individual's sex in many organisms, including humans. They carry genes that are crucial for sexual development; the X chromosome contains a larger number of genes related to various functions, while the Y chromosome primarily carries genes associated with male sex determination and spermatogenesis. Additionally, they are inherited differently, with females typically having two X chromosomes and males having one X and one Y chromosome.
