This does happen, but a YY fetus will never develop very far. In point of fact 1/2 of all pregnancies end in the 1st trimester often unnoticed. (Many women believe they were late or they skipped a month.) Many of these are due to chromosomal abnormalities.
The X contains a number a vital genes unlike the smaller Y chromosomes. You can have a single X, XXX, or XYY. There are a number of health issues common to people with odd number numbers of chromosomes. (Extra Ys tends to result in learning disorders, and some extra height. More than 2 also tend to produce bone disorders.) Other than the X/Y chromosome the 21 (edit*) chromosome is the only chromosomal screw up that will produce a viable human being.
*I orginally said 23 which is the number of chromosomes.

No it's not possible - the only way a mother and father can produce a child: Mother donates an X and Father donates either an X or a Y. Mother has no Y's to donate and any zygote which lost their X through some strange happening would not grow or survive. (The X chromosome has a strong role in brain function and development.)

I'm not really sure, but a YY might be a hermaphrodite, meaning, it would have both boy and girl genitalia. Don't quote me on it, because I'm just assuming, since the only way a Y chromosome is introduced is through the male. Females only produce X chromosomes. There would have to be a mutation in the X the female provides to create a YY.

Well, you can imagine that it will resemble the phenotype of the XYY people- they actually exists-. It has been asociated with antisocial behaviour based on a bit higher frequency in prison population although they tend to present also slight retardation -some people say that that is the reason why they are more caught by police and then more frequent in prisons-.
The complete removal of X chromosome is not viable, so I will stick with the XYY

The X chromosome does more than code for gender, including genes that code for proteins vital in sperm production. This would be lost without the X chromosome.
A fertilization with only Y chromosomes could not be viable.

pure YY may not appear in normal conditions. but there appear cells and people with three chromosomes YYX,YXX one being called superman, one called superwoman. it causes problems with hormone regulation.
whoa YYX shall not be possible either. no way how to get this combination from YX and XX samples. SO- just YXX and XXX should be the abnormal sets of chromosomes

supposedly it would not. you go with a minimum of one X chromosome. it is a risk to have like 3 X's or 2 X's and a Y that are referred to as superhumans. the adult men are meant to be greater suitable despite if it to date would not look to impact the girls.

it is impossible and it will never happen because the "X" chromosome is important in growth and development of the zygote into fetus and so on....
