Question

Which row shows the sex chromosomes present in human body cells?

▶️ Answer/Explanation
In humans, sex determination is chromosomal. Females have two X chromosomes (XX) in their body cells, while males have one X and one Y chromosome (XY). The Y chromosome carries the SRY gene, which triggers male development. A YY combination is not viable in humans, as essential genes are located on the X chromosome. Therefore, only option A correctly matches the female sex with the XX chromosome pair.
