Sex refers to the biological characteristics that define a person as male or female, such as reproductive organs and chromosomes. Gender, on the other hand, refers to the social roles, behaviors, and characteristics that a society deems appropriate for men and women. Gender is influenced by culture and can vary across different societies and time periods. While sex is typically assigned at birth based on physical characteristics, gender is a social construct that can be fluid and may not necessarily align with someone's biological sex.
