Hello,


I have a simple question regarding this question: One possible normal human haploid chromosomal complement is?


My thoughts were that it was one X and one Y,and 23 pairs of autosomes,but im told that isnt the case. Can someone explain the correct answer for me,I have researched the question but no absoloute answer. Thanx hope to hear from you soon.

Total = 23 chromosomes:

22 autosomes + either X or Y.
