Explanation:

The question is incomplete. Here is the complete question:

An XXY chromosome constitution produces ________ development in humans and _________ development in fruit flies.

a. female; female

b. male; male

c. female; male

d. male; female

e. male, intersex

Normally,  possessing two sex chromosomes for humans, having 3 sex chromosomes is an abnormality but it still results in a development of a male, who is infertile.

Fruit Flies are a species which possess 3 sex chromosomes normally, and in the cases in which there are 2 X choromosomes, it encourages the development of intersex fruit flies. Situations where there are 3 X choromosomes present result in female fruit flies and where there is only a single X chromosome result in male fruit flies.

I hope this answer helps.

Answer 2

Answer: An XXY chromosomes constitution produce Male development in humans and Female development in fruit flies.

Explanation:

An XXY syndrome or Klinefelter syndrome is a genetic condition in which a male is born with an extra X chromosomes instead with the normal XY chromosomes having XXY chromosomes in humans. When an XX egg is produced, it is the fertilised with Y sperm and this produce a male of XXY chromosomes in humans.Those with XXY chromosomes in fruit flies represent fertile females. Females have XX chromosomes in both human and fruit flies. The male fruit flies have X and tiny Y chromosomes, when the tiny y fertilized the XX chromosomes, it produce fertile female fruit flies.
