How could that be? The only genetic difference is the presence of the Y chromosome. If it were the same size as all the others, it would be a 1/46 difference, so about 2%. But it is smaller than all the others, so maybe 1% or even less difference . The other 45 chromosomes are the same for men and women.

- bonzini 2y agoThe point is that females have 46 full chromosomes and males don't. If you take into account that one of the 46 is essentially inactivated in females, that's obviously another story; but as far as nucleotides go, the genetic difference between male and female humans is 1/46th.
