Erklärung
Apart from the sex chromosomes the chromosome set is shared, so the same 22 types are present in both and carry the same genes in the same places. Imagining two entirely separate sets would mean a father could hand on almost nothing to a daughter, and the totals in a male and a female body cell are in fact the same.
