Chapter 26.5, Problem 2COMQ
Summary Introduction
Introduction:
The sexual character in an organism is determined by the biological system or the sex-determination system. Sex determination is genetic, females and males have different genes that specify sexual morphology. In animals, sex determination is generally through a combination of XY, XX.
