Textbook Question
Chapter 46, Problem 11TYU
SCIENTIFIC INQUIRY You discover a new egg-laying worm speties. You dlssect four adults and find both oocytes and sperm in each. Cells outside the gonad contain five chromosome pairs. Lacking genetie variants, explain how you would determine whether the worms can self-feriilize.
