answer:

a girl

Step-by-step explanation:

  • the X and Y chromosomes, also known as the sex chromosomes, determine the biological sex of an individual.
  • females inherit an X chromosome from the father for a XX genotype
  • males inherit a Y chromosome from the father for a XY genotype
  • mothers only pass on X chromosomes
