उत्तर
- In birds, the chromosomal mechanism of sex determination is ZW-ZZ type.
- In this type females are heterogametic and produce two types of eggs; 50% of eggs carry Z-chromosome, while 50% of eggs carry W- chromosome.
- Males are homogametic and produce one type of sperms. Each sperm carries a Z chromosome.
- Thus, the sex of an individual depends on the kind of egg (ova) fertilized by the sperm.
