S: (n) sex chromosome ((genetics) a chromosome that determines the sex of an individual) "mammals normally have two sex chromosomes"
S: (n) X chromosome (the sex chromosome that is present in both sexes: singly in males and doubly in females) "human females normally have two X chromosomes"
S: (n) XX ((genetics) normal complement of sex chromosomes in a female)
S: (n) XXX ((genetics) abnormal complement of three X chromosomes in a female)
