Detailed explanation-1: -A typical human diploid cell contains 46 chromosomes, or 23 pairs: Two of the 46 are the sex chromosomes that determine an individual’s sex: XX = female and XY = male.
Detailed explanation-2: -Disease Overview. A 46, XY disorder of sex development (DSD) is a condition in which an individual with one X chromosome and one Y chromosome in each cell, the pattern normally found in males, have genitalia that is not clearly male or female.
Detailed explanation-3: -Girls and women typically have two X chromosomes (46, XX karyotype), while boys and men typically have one X chromosome and one Y chromosome (46, XY karyotype ).
Detailed explanation-4: -Each person normally has one pair of sex chromosomes in each cell. The Y chromosome is present in males, who have one X and one Y chromosome, while females have two X chromosomes.
Detailed explanation-5: -The X and Y chromosomes, also known as the sex chromosomes, determine the biological sex of an individual: females inherit an X chromosome from the father for a XX genotype, while males inherit a Y chromosome from the father for a XY genotype (mothers only pass on X chromosomes).
