Solution:

The genotype XXY is described as feminised males. The person has an extra chromosome which arises as a result of non-disjunction of X chromosome during meiosis. Due to one extra X-chromosome, the total number of chromosomes is 47 in such individuals. This condition is called Klinefelter’s syndrome.
