Read the following two case studies and identify which of the genetic variations best describes the athletes biological sex. 1. Destiny is a 23-year-old female swimmer. She tested negative for the barr body test And positive for the SRY Jean. Her blood testosterone level was 25 nmol/L. However, She has a typical external female reproductive anatomy and secondary sex characteristics. The genetic variation of best describes destiny is ____________.  2. Doreen is a 27-year-old female shot putter. She tested negative for the Barr body test an SRY gene. Her blood testosterone level was tested below 10 nmol/L.  Although she has typical external female reproductive anatomy, she does not exhibit any secondary sex characteristics. The genetic variation the best describes Doreen is __________.    Options to fill in the 2 blank*  46, XX with SRY gene  46, XY with deleted SRY gene  46, XY with SRD5A2 gene mutation  46, XX with excess testosterone from adrenal glands  45, X (only one chromosome present)  46, XY with androgen insensitivity
