a. XY with the SRY gene deleted-   FEMALE
b. XY with the SRY located on an autosomal chromosome-    MALE
c. XX with a  copy of SRY gene on an autosomal chromosome-   MALE
 d. XO with a copy of SRY gene on an autosome-   MALE
e. XXY with the SRY gene deleted-    FEMALE
g. XXYY with one copy of the SRY deleted.  - MALE

In humans, a single functional copy of the SRY gene, normally located on the Y chromosome, determines phenotypic maleness by causing gonads to differentiate into testes. In the absence of a functional SRY gene, gonads differentiate into ovaries and the individual is phenotypically female.

Note: I obtained this solution from the solutions manual so change up the words a little bit in case 8).
