A) Swyer Syndrome
B) Turner Syndrome
C) Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome
D) Klinefelter Syndrome

Answer 1

The individual described with XY chromosomes and traits typically associated with females, along with androgen insensitivity, has Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome. This condition results in the development of female physical traits despite the presence of male genetic makeup.The correct answer is option C.

Step-by-step explanation:

The case described in the question where an individual with XY chromosomes does not produce androgens, has a shallow vagina, and presents incomplete masculinization, is indicative of Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome (AIS).

AIS is a condition where a person who is genetically male (with XY chromosomes) is resistant to male hormones (androgens). As a result, the person has some or all of the physical traits of a woman, but the genetic makeup of a man.

• Swyer Syndrome is characterized by individuals with XY chromosomes who are phenotypically female due to nonfunctional gonads.
• Klinefelter Syndrome is defined as having XXY chromosomes, often leading to physical traits such as small testes and reduced male secondary sexual characteristics.
• Turner Syndrome is associated with individuals having a single X chromosome (XO genotype) and presenting as phenotypically female with specific physical features.

Therefore, the correct answer to the question is C) Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome.
