Hermaphrodite is a person or animal having both male and female sex organs or other sexual characteristics, either abnormally or (in the case of some organisms) as the natural condition. Many hermaphrodite babies have an extra sex chromosome, making them babies with 47 chromosomes instead of 46, including a XXY pair instead of either XX (female), or XY (male). These children thus have two X-chromosomes (like a normal female), as well as a XY-pair (like a normal male).
