If a baby is born with two X chromosomes, it must be female. Males have XY chromosomes, females have XX chromosomes, due to how the chromosomes are naturally passed from parents to a child.

Answer;

The baby is a female

Explanation;

  • If a baby is born with two X chromosomes, it must be female.
  • Females normally have two similar type of sex chromosomes, that is XX, which are called homogametic.
