What is the difference between sex and gender?

Health Education Health 100 Version 3 / Gender and Sexuality

"Sex refers to biological classification as male or female and is associated with chromosomes, reproductive anatomy, and hormones. Gender is culturally based and is shaped by social norms, politics, religion, language, tradition, and other cultural forces. Gender identity is a person’s internal sense of maleness, femaleness, or another gender position, while androgyny describes the presence of both traditionally masculine and feminine traits."
