Answer:

XX

XX

XX

XY

XY

XY

Step-by-step explanation:

Most mammals use an X/Y sex determination system, like humans.

Males are XY and females are XX. Therefore, there will be three pigs with the XX chromosomes, as they are female. There will also be three pigs with the XY chromosomes, as they are male.
