• A. XY
• B. YY
• C. XX
• D. XW

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

To solve the problem, we need to determine which type of sex chromosomes are present in women.

1. Understanding Human Sex Chromosomes:
Humans have 23 pairs of chromosomes, of which one pair determines sex. These are called sex chromosomes.

2. Chromosome Combinations:
- Males have one X and one Y chromosome (XY)
- Females have two X chromosomes (XX)

3. Eliminate Incorrect Options:
- XY → Male
- YY → Not a viable combination in humans
- XW → Found in birds, not humans (W chromosome is in female birds)

Final Answer:
Women have XX sex chromosomes.
