In humans, which combination of sex chromosomes typically results in a genetically male individual?

Explanation

In humans, a typical genetically male individual has one X chromosome and one Y chromosome, written as XY, while a typical genetically female individual has two X chromosomes, written as XX. The Y chromosome carries genes that trigger the development of male reproductive characteristics during fetal development. Since the mother always contributes an X chromosome, it is the father’s contribution of either an X or a Y chromosome that generally determines a child’s genetic sex.
