Question:

What combination of paternal chromosome results in a female?

Options:

ZX

XX

YZ

XY

Correct Answer:

XX

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (2)-XX

A female is typically characterized by the combination of XX chromosomes. In humans, females inherit an X chromosome from both parents, resulting in the XX chromosome pair. On the other hand, males have an XY chromosome pair, inheriting an X chromosome from their mother and a Y chromosome from their father. The combination of XX leads to the development of a female individual.
