What is the chromosome pattern in the human female and the male?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3)- XX and XY
The correct chromosome patterns for human females and males are:
- Human Female: XX
- Human Male: XY
In females, both sex chromosomes are X (XX), and in males, there is one X and one Y chromosome (XY). This combination of sex chromosomes determines the individual's biological sex.
Therefore, all the haploid gametes (ova) produced by the female have the sex chromosome X whereas in the male gametes (sperms) the sex chromosome could be either X or Y.
