Inversely, there are also some females born as 46XY. This occur because the Y chromosome suffer some mutation, hence fails to induce embryonic testes, as a result ovaries will develop instead! There are some individuals born with 46XY because they cannot respond to the hormone “testosterone” produced by their testes, as a result they will have all or some external appearance of a woman despite the male genes. This is known as ‘Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome’.

When an individual has both male and female sexual organs, they are known as hermaphrodite. Hermaphrodite: this word comes from two names of Greek God and Goddess, Hermes and Aphrodite. Theoretically, when cell divisions occur in the fetus, it is possible to have both cells of 46XX and 46XY in the same fetus. This is what they call mosaicism. As a result, the individual will have both male and female ‘apparatus’. Sadly, hermaphrodites are usually infertile, and thus they cannot impregnate themselves.
