Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Testicular feminization syndrome, also known as Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome (AIS), is characterized by a person who is genetically male (having one X and one Y chromosome) but is resistant to male hormones (androgens). As a result, the person has some or all of the physical traits of a woman, but the genetic makeup of a man. There are no abnormalities in the number of chromosomes; individuals with this condition have the typical male XY chromosome pattern.
