Aperson who is heterozygous for the x and y chromosomes is male female gendered there is not enough information to say. anth

The person should be a male.

Only male carries XY chromosomes, meanwhile female carries XX chromosomes. "Heterozygous for the X and Y chromosomes" means that the person have both X and Y chromosomes in their cells, therefore only males fits the description.

This is also why the birth rate of girl or a boy is always 50%, it is because the sex of a person is only determined by the sperm from a male. Each sperm either carries a X or a Y chromosome, never the both. Therefore, the chances of a X or a Y sperm fertilising an X egg is always 50%, also explains why both female or male must have at least one X chromosome because an egg always carry an X.

the diploid number of chromosomes is sometimes represented by the symbol 2n. for the fruit fly, the diploid number is 8, which can be written as 2n = 8, where n represents twice the number of chromosomes in a sperm or egg cell.
