e. female, XX

Respuesta :

Answer:

e. female, XX

Explanation:

In humans, females are homogametic because they produce only one type of gametes. All the female gametes ( oocyte or ova) have X-sex chromosome. Whereas, human males are heterogametic. they produce two types of gametes. Half of the gametes (sperms) have X-sex chromosome and half of the gametes (sperms) have Y-sex chromosome.  

Therefore, an oocyte or female gamete is fertilized by an X-bearing sperm, the child will be born a female with the chromosomal pair of XX. one X from the male and one X from the female.
