Which of the following is true about sex determination in mammals? Choose all possible answers. a.) The conversion of the genital ridge into the bipotential gonad requires the Sf1, Wt1, and Lhx9 transcription factors. b.) Even if one of the transcription factors mentioned in choice a (Sf1, Wt1, and Lhx9) will lose its function, the normal development of either male or female gonads will still push through. c.) Sry protein binds to the enhancer of the Sox9 gene and elevates expression of this key gene in the ovary-determining pathway. d.) β-catenin functions to initiate the ovarian pathway of development by activating the genes involved in granulosa cell differentiation. e.) Sf1 protein prevents the production of Sox9.

The continuity of life is based on heritable information in the form of DNA. In a short essay (100–150 words), explain how chromosome behavior during sexual reproduction in animals ensures perpetuation of parental traits in offspring and, at the same time, genetic variation among offspring.
Some marine fishes exhibit a spectacular polyphenism, in that individuals can, under special circumstances, change their sex from female to male (in other species, the switch goes from male to female). This developmental change involves reproductive organs, hormones, and mating behavior (Warner 1984). In some species, the removal of a dominant, breeding male from a cluster of females triggers a sex change in the largest female present. Identify the apparent developmental restrictions imposed on this system, such as the requirement that a female be transformed into a male rather than some sort of intermediate sex. Speculate on the benefits associated with each restriction.
Using this information, how do I figure out the answer to question1? INTRODUCTION In most species of Drosophila, a female mating with a single male usually supplies sufficient sperm to fertilize her lifetime supply of eggs. Moreover, mating is often costly to female flies. So why do females of some species mate more than once? Perhaps they do this to assess the quality of males and/or the sperm males produce via sperm competition. Tom Price, Nina Wedell, and their colleagues at the University of Exeter provide evidence for the sperm competition hypothesis. They show multiple mating increases in frequency when a selfish genetic element that reduces sperm quality is prevalent. In Drosophila, females are XX and males are XY. They normally occur in equal numbers. In D. pseudoobscura, males that harbor the X-linked selfish genetic element sex ratio (SR) have produced nearly all female progeny, as SR sabotages Y-bearing sperm. The SR element gains a tremendous transmission advantage but…
The insect testis is composed of individual units called ____ , whereas the insect ovary is composed of individual units called ovarioles. In the type of ovariole referred to as ____ , the upper region called the germarium contains oogonia and cells called____ , which connect to forming eggs by long ____ that carry maternal mRNA to the egg.
we discuss various mechanisms of sex determination, including the XX/XY system of placental mammals, and the ZZ/ZW system of birds. Monotremes, the most primitive mammals, have a very intriguing sex determination scheme that shares elements of both of these systems. Please use the internet to learn more about how sex in monotremes is determined. Then write a short essay (300-400 words) describing this system and comparing/contrasting it to the XX/XY and ZZ/ZW systems.
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.
What biological mechanisms account for the resemblance between offspring and their parents? Exmpain step by step in your own words.
In certain salamanders, the sex of a genetic female can be altered, changing her into a functional male; these salamanders are called sexreversed males. When a sex-reversed male is mated with a normal female, approximately 23 of the offspring are female and 13 are male. How is sex determined in these salamanders? Explain the results of this cross.
