What is an important difference between chromosomal sex determination in birds and mammals?
A. |
Female birds have two different sex chromosomes while female mammals have two different sex chromosomess. |
|
B. |
The heterogametic sex in birds is male while the heterogametic sex in mammales is female. |
|
C. |
The homogametic sex in birds is female while the homogametic sex in mammals is male. |
|
D. |
The heterogametic sex in birds is female, while the heterogametic sex in mammals is male. |
The answer is option D
The heterogametic sex in birds is female (Z and W chromosome), while the heterogametic sex in mammals is male (X and Y chromosome)

A. What is the difference between homomorphic and heteromorphic chromosomes? B. What is the difference between homogametic and heterogametic sexes? C. Relate these terms to human sex determination.
1.a) How do we know that in humans the X chromosomes play no role in sex determination, while the Y chromosome causes maleness and its absence causes femaleness? c) How do we know that X chromosomal inactivation of either the paternal or maternal homolog is a random event during early development in mammalian females? d) How do we know that Drosophila utilizes a different sex-determination mechanism than mammals, even though it has the same sex-chromosome compositions in males and females?...
hila, birds, grasshoppers What are the chromosomal patterns of sex determination in humans, Drosop and honeybees? 3)
Birds, unlike mammals, have a sex determination system in which females have Z and a W chromosome (ZW), while males have two copies of Z (ZZ). Another fun fact: most bird species, including chickens, do not have penises. This makes it hard to determine the sex of baby chicks! There’s a gene required for pigmentation located on Z. The “barred” allele (b) of this gene is recessive to the black allele (B). If you would like to easily determine the...
The XY sex determination system is found in Drosophila, where both female X-chromosomes are active. Flies compensate for the two active X chromosomes by increasing transcription of the single male X ~two fold (hence, X/A = 1 in both males and females). What observation makes this mechanism not applicable to mammals?
In birds with a ZZ-ZW sex determination system, males are ZZ and females are ZW. Which is the heterogametic sex? Group of answer choices a Females b Neither males nor females c Both males and females d Males
Question 1 1 pts Sex determination in mammals is due to the SRY region of the Y chromosome. An abnormality of this region could allow which of the following to have a male phenotype? O a person with an extra X chromosome Turner syndrome, 45, X O Down syndrome, 46, XX O a person with one normal and one shortened (deleted) X O translocation of SRY to an autosome of a 46, XX individual Question 2 1 pts What does...
IV. MONOHYBRID, SEX-LINKED PROBLEMS 10. In humans, as well as in other primates, sex is determined by special sex chromosomes. An individual containing two X chromosomes is a female, while an individual possessing an X and a Y chromosome is a male. a. What is the genotype of your sex chromosomes? _________________________________________________________ b. In terms of sex chromosomes, what is the sex chromosomal genotype of the (ova)? _________________________________________________________ c. What are the possible sex chromosomal genotypes of a male's sperm...
Solve It: Does Sex Determination Have Only Two Possible Outcomes: Male or Female? One of the most fundamental aspects of personhood is your biological sex: "It's a girl" or "It's a boyl" is often the first statement about who you are. Most people view biological sex as a straightforward, eitherfor issue-either a person is biologically male or biologically female. Like all biological characteristics, however, sex determination is achieved through a developmental process. All developmental processes exhibit variation, and sex determination...
Human Development-Sex Variations Individuals may acquire chromosomal sex variations, where the number and type of sex chromosomes are not average. A list of some of these variations is below. For each one, predict if the zygote would be assigned male or female or intersex at birth. Later, compare your predictions to the actual phenotypes. Zygote Phenotype Predicted Sex Sex Chromosomes Chromosomes in Gametes Sperm Egg XY Y X xX X X XO X none XYY X YY XX Y XXY...
