Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Typically, biologically female individuals have two X chromosomes (XX) while those who are biologically male have one X and one Y chromosome (XY ). However, there are exceptions to this rule. Biologically female people inherit an X chromosome from their father, and the other X chromosome from their mother.
Detailed explanation-2: -Males have XY sex chromosomes while females have XX sex chromosomes; the male can contribute the X or Y chromosome, while the female must contribute one of their X chromosomes.
