Solution

The individual with XᴮY is hemizygous.

Here's why:

  1. The term "homozygous" refers to having two identical alleles for a particular gene. This is not the case for an individual with XᴮY, as they have two different sex chromosomes (X and Y).

  2. The term "heterozygous" refers to having two different alleles for a particular gene. While this might seem like the correct answer, it's not quite right.
