Do all dioecious species have a homogametic and a heterogametic sex? 1. Yes, because dioecious means that two types of gametes are produced, even in hermaphroditic species. 2. Yes, because all sex-determining systems include heterogametic and homogametic sexes. 3. Yes, because in dioecious organisms, either the XX-XY or the ZZ-ZW system determines sex. XY and ZW individuals are heterogametic. XX and ZZ individuals are homogametic. 4. No, because hermaphrodites and species that reproduce asexually are dioecious. 5. No, because dioecious means that the sexes are separate, regardless of how sex is determined. In some dioecious species, sex is determined by a single gene.

About 40% of Solomon Islanders carry a gene for blond hair, and yet only 5%–10% of these people actually have blond hair. Why is the number of people with blond hair only 5%–10% when so many people carry genes for blond hair? The duck-billed platypus has a unique mechanism of sex determination: females have five pairs of X chromosomes (X1X1X2X2X3X3X4X4X5X5) and males have five pairs of X and Y chromosomes (X1Y1X2Y2X3Y3X4Y4X5Y5). Do you think each of the X and Y chromosome pairs in males assort independently of other X and Y pairs during meiosis? Why or why not? How is the inheritance of X-linked traits different from the inheritance of autosomal traits? How is the inheritance of X-linked and autosomal traits similar? List as many differences and similarities as you can.
The mode of Protenor butterfly sex determination is based on ________. ZW and ZZ for females and males, respectively. XX and XO for hermaphrodites and males, respectively. XX and XY chromosomes for females and males, respectively. XX and XO chromosomes for females and males, respectively. XO and YY chromosomes for females and males, respectively.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of the alternation between fertilization and meiosis in sexually reproducing organism?
In C. elegans there are two sexes: hermaphrodite and male. Sex is determined by the ratio of X chromosomes to haploid sets of autosomes (X/A). An X/A ratio of 1.0 produces a hermaphrodite (XX), and an X/A ratio of 0.5 results in a male (XO). In the 1970s, Jonathan Hodgkin and Sydney Brenner carried out genetic screens to identify mutations in three genes that result in either XX males (tra-1, tra-2) or XO hermaphrodites (her-1). Double-mutant strains were constructed to assess for epistatic interactions between the genes (see table). Propose a genetic model of how the her and tra genes control sex determination.
What is sexual dimorphism? How can you say human beings exhibit sexual dimorphism?
How does the heterogametic sex differ from the homogametic sex? a. The heterogametic sex is male; the homogametic sex is female.b. Gametes of the heterogametic sex have different sex chromosomes; gametes of the homogametic sex all have the same sex chromosome.c. Gametes of the heterogametic sex all contain a Y chromosome; gametes of the homogametic sex all contain an X chromosome.
Which of the following scenarios does NOT describe an event that leads to the conceptions of twins? Select one: A. two eggs are fertilized by two sperm cells, resulting in a fraternal twin. B. High levels of FSH stimulate the maturation of three ovums. C. Two eggs are fertilized by one sperm cell, resulting in a monozygotic twin. D. One egg is fertilized by one sperm but divides into two zygotes, resulting in two babies of the same gender.
Do you think that there’s a possibility that male frogs fail to mate with a female frog? Why or why not? If so, what do you think are the potential factors that could arise this problem of fail to reproduce?
Plutonian Tickle-bellies have a sex determination system just like mammals. Hairy Snout is a holandric trait (carried on the Y chromosome). MyxRotcccc, a handsome male Tickle-belly, has lovely orange hair on his snout. He and his mate, OrgggWny, have six offspring, three boys and three girls. Please answer the following questions about this family. How many of MyxRotcccc’s and OrgggWny’s offspring have hairy snouts? Can you predict which ones? Their eldest son, Bob, marries and has a son. What is the chance that Bob’s son will also have a hairy snout? JoKchew, MyxRotcccc’s and OrgggWny’s youngest daughter, marries a male who has a smooth, hairless purple snout. She has eight offspring, each one lovelier than the last, and all boys. What percentage of these offspring do you expect to have hairy snouts? Explain.
