Invenids are a xeno-eukaryotic species, and roughly akin to humans; genetics among xeno-eukaryotic species is similar to eukaryotic species. 

Like humans, they have diploid cells with has two sets of chromosomes; however, whereas humans have two sets of 23, the Invenid has two sets of 24.

Fascinatingly to scientists, while each parent provides half of the chromosomes, there is a "twist" in the encoding. This leads to two sets with half the genetic information from each parent. There are 22 pairs of autosomes and a two pairs of sex chromosomes, leading to three distinct genders: XY-XY male, XX-XX and XX-XY female, and XY-XX androgynes. It is unknown what the evolutionary pressure was that caused these intriguing genetics.
