Observe the sex determination in the following:-
I. Human males = XY
II. Female hen = ZW
III. Male Drosophila = XY
IV. Male grasshopper = XO
V. Male birds = ZZ
Male heterogamety = A
Female heterogamety = B
Male homogamety = C
Which of the following combination is correct?
1. A–I, III, IV, B–II, C–V
2. A–II, IV, B–I, C–III
3. A–II, IV, B–I, C–II
4. A–III, IV, B–II, C–I
It is unfortunate that in our society women are blamed for producing female children and have been ostracised and ill-treated because:
1. | The sex is determined by the type of sperm fertilizing the egg |
2. | The sex is determined by the type of egg fertilizing the sperm |
3. | The sex is determined by the hormones produced by the fetus |
4. | The sex is determined by the God’s will |
