उत्तर
| ZZ Sex-Determination Mechanism | XY Sex-Determination Mechanism |
| In this type of chromosomal sex determination mechanism, the females are heterogametic, that is, they produce two types of gametes, while the males are homogametic. | In this type of chromosomal sex determination mechanism, the males are heterogametic, that is, they produce two types of gametes, while the females are homogametic. |
| Here, the females produce two types of eggs (A + Z) and (A + W), while the males produce only one type of sperm (A + Z). | Here, the males have an X chromosome and its counterpart Y chromosome, which is distinctly smaller. Hence, the males are XY. However, females have a pair of X chromosomes; therefore, they are XX. |
| Organisms that have the ZZ type of sex-determination mechanism are birds, fishes, some reptiles, etc. | Organisms that have the XY type of sex-determination mechanism are humans and Drosophila. |
