Solution

YY gender:
When the male gamete fuses with the female gamete, the child gets one chromosome each from both the parents.
The mother has XX chromosome and the male has XY chromosome.
No, YY child is not possible as for a child to have both chromosomes as YY, he should get one Y from mother and other from father, which is not possible in humans.
