In a ZZ-ZW sex determination system, males are ZZ and females are ZW. Which sex is going to be most affected by mutations on the Z chromosome?
Group of answer choices
a Males will be more affected
b Females will be more affected
c Additional information is needed to answer this question
d Females and males will be equally affected
Ans ) b ,c ,and d
Depending on the inheritance if it's Z linked dominant or recessive . Hence additional information is needed .
B in case of Z linked recessive and d in case of z linked dominant .
If the mutation is in Z chromosome and the disorder is Z linked recessive ,then females will be affected as they are heterozygous (ZW) while males will be carriers as they have another normal Z chromosome that is homozygous (ZZ) , the normal Z chromosome will override the recessive mutation so the disorder is suppressed
If the disease is Z linked dominant , one copy of the dominant allele on mutant Z chromosome is enough to produce the disease ,so it would affect the male and female equally as each would posess one Z chromosome .
If this helps give it a positive rating . Thank you.

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
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...
In boa constrictors, sex is determined by the chromosomes Z and W. Males are ZZ and females are ZW. In boa constrictors, males are considered the _____ sex. a.) homozygous recessive b.) heterozygous c.) heterogametic d.) homogametic
4. You are working on a certain species of worm, with an ZZ/ZW sex determination system. You perform karyotype analysis for a mating pair, but you don't know which one is the male and which one is the female. Which one would you guess is the female (left or right?)

AP Question 4 In the tongue sole fish (Cynoglossus semilaevis), sex is determined by a combination of genetics and environmental temperature. Genetically male fish have two Z chromosomes (ZZ), and genetically female fish have one Z chromosome and one W chromosome (ZW). When fish are raised at 22°C, ZZ fish develop into phenotypic males and ZW fish develop into phenotypic females. However, when fish are raised at 28°C, the Z chromosome is modified (denoted as Z*). Z*W individuals develop as...
The sex of an organism is typically determined genetically, but environmental factors can also play a role. Scientists examined the roles of genes and environmental temperature in the sex determination of a lizard species. Individuals with a ZW pair of chromosomes are always female (ZWf), while individuals with a ZZ pair of chromosomes can be either male (ZZm) or female (ZZf). Scientists mated ZWfor ZZf females with ZZm males and incubated the eggs produced in 20 clutches at temperatures ranging...
Which of the following explains why most sex-linked characteristics are X-linked instead of Y-linked? Group of answer choices A All the genes on the Y chromosome are recessive B The X chromosome has more genes than the Y chromosome C Genes on the Y chromosome contain more mutations than on the X chromosome D There are no YY genotypes

XO with a copy of SRY gene on an autosomal chromosome? d. XXY with the SRY gene deleted? e. XXYY with one copy of the SRY gene deleted 2..
