What is the genotype for a female human (girl)?
A
XX
B
XY
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Genotypic sex refers specifically to an individual’s two sex chromosomes. Most people have either two X chromosomes (genotypic female) or an X and a Y chromosome (genotypic male).

Detailed explanation-2: -The cells descended from that cell, instead of being XX (female), are XO (male). Because there are no sex hormones in insects to modulate such events, each cell makes its own sexual “decision.” The XO cells display male characteristics, whereas the XX cells display female traits.

Detailed explanation-3: -In Swyer syndrome, individuals have one X chromosome and one Y chromosome in each cell, which is the pattern typically found in boys and men; however, they have female reproductive structures . People with Swyer syndrome have female external genitalia and some female internal reproductive structures.
