These genotypes are determined by a human's 23rd pair of chromosomes. If the subject is female, she has two X's reading XX. If it is male, then his genotype will read XY. There is a 50-50 shot of each. This is because a woman donates one chromosome (she only has two X's so it is inevitable that she will donate an X), and a man donates one of his. If a man donates his 'X' then there will be two X's and the child will be female. If he donates his 'Y' then the child will be male.
Male is XY, female is XX. There are, however, other genotypes (XXY, XXX, XO...) and not all people have a phenotype that goes with their genotype.

Maleness is not a genotype but a combination of sex chromosomes. A normal human male has an X as well as a Y chromosome.

How do females pick the males in sexual selection?
it doesnt matter if you are a female and you want a female mate you can have a girlfriend when your a girl. if you want a male and you are a female then you can choose a male it doesnt matter if you are a female and you want a female mate you can have a girlfriend when your a girl. if you want a male and you are a female then you can choose a male
Whether a human is male or female is determined by his or her?
Their genotype. The human has 46 chromosomes, or two pairs of 23 chromosomes (haploid) where one pair of these chromosomes contain the genetic information that determines a human's gender. The female possesses a pair of chromosomes labelled as XX. The male possesses a pair of chromosomes labelled as XY. In the case of a male, the Y gene is inherited from the father (X from the mother) and does not contain the usual genotypes that determine an individual's appearance etc. Instead it contains a few genes that activate body functions in the male such as producing hormones in the testes, or enabling the male to possess a deeper voice etc.
Is xxy male or female?
Klinefelter syndrome: males inherit one or more extra X chromosomes--their genotype is XXY or more rarely XXXY or XY/XXY mosaic. In severe cases, they have relatively high-pitched voices, asexual to feminine body contours as well as breast enlargement, and comparatively little facial and body hair. They are sterile or nearly so, and their testes and prostate gland are small.
What is a the male and female genotype?
The genotype for a male is XY. A female is XX. The 23rd homologous pair is the sex gene that determines this.
What is the genotype of a male grasshopper and a female grasshopper?
A male grasshopper's genotype is XO. A female grasshopper's genotype is XX. X represents the presence of a sex chromosome, and O represents the lack of a sex chromosome.
Can parent with as and AA genotype give birth to ac genotype?
If the male parent has genotype AS and the female parent has genotype AA what is the offspring?
What is the ratio of a baby being male or female?
The ratio of a human baby being a male to being a female is 1:1.That means that the baby has a 50% of being a male, and a 50% of being a female.A male human has the genotype of XY.A female human has the genotype of XX.Some mutated organisms have an XXY or XYY for a genotype.
When do you acquire your unique genotype?
at the moment of conception when the male and female gametes fuse together. at the moment of conception when the male and female gametes fuse together.
A human with the genotype XY is?
For the case of the human, an individual with XX genotype is female. Other organisms have different ways of determining sex.
What is the genotype for males and females?
XX for female and XY for male. -anonymous18_K
Which male genotype in the ZW sex chromosome system?
In the ZW sex chromosome system, the male genotype is ZZ. The letter Z represents the presence of a dominant male-determining gene, while the letter W represents the absence of this gene, which determines female development. Therefore, individuals with the ZZ genotype develop as males in this system.
How is the phenotype determined by the genotype?
Ex. Genotype = Phenotype AA Pure, no cleft chin Aa Hybrid, no cleft chin AA Pure, cleft chin XX Female XY Male
What is the difference between male and female cells?
In humans and most (if not all) other eukaryote species, males have the karyotype XY in their chromosomes, and females have the genotype XX.
What will be the gender if X and Y combine?
In the genetic system. XX is the female and XY is the male. There are four ways this can combine X"X' & XY as X"X Female X'X Female X"Y Male X'Y Male The are dashes on the 'X's' for clarity of combination. This results in an equal number of females and males being born.
What is a genotype of a human male?
XY
