Explanation:

The statement that is not true regarding heredity is:

  • d) There are two sex-linked chromosomes: Y for biological females and X for biological males.

Humans inherit 46 chromosomes, 23 from each parent, which organize into 23 pairs.

Sex chromosomes, X and Y, determine the sex of the individual and are part of the genetic inheritance.
