उत्तर
- The sex chromosomes in birds are determined as Z and W. The male is homomorphic (ZZ) and the female is heteromorphic (ZW).
- W chromosome carries female sex-determining genes and duplication of Z chromosome indicates male sex.
- So, in case of chicks, the sex is determined by the egg and not by the sperms.
- The difference between sex mechanisms of humans.
- birds is that the male is homomorphic (ZZ) and the female is heteromorphic (ZW) in birds, whereas the male is heteromorphic (XY) and female is homomorphic (XX) in humans.
