In humans, the presence of a Y chromosome means the zygote will be male.

So (normal) females will have XX - one X chromosome from each parent.

(Normal) males will have XY - an X chromosome from their mother and a Y from their father.

Zygotes do not have a predetermined sex. The development of a zygote into a male or female is determined by the presence of specific sex chromosomes – XX typically leads to a female, while XY leads to a male. This determination occurs at fertilization when the sperm carrying either an X or a Y chromosome fuses with the egg.

When does a zygote develop?

A zygote is developed during fertilization - a process that occurs when two haploid gametes (or sex cells) combine. In more general terms, the zygote is formed when the sperm meets the egg.
