उत्तर
This statement is false.
Explanation:
In chickens (and other birds), sex determination follows the ZW system, where the female is the heterogametic sex (ZW), producing two types of eggs containing either a Z or a W chromosome. The male is homogametic (ZZ), producing only one type of sperm with a Z chromosome. Thus, unlike humans where females are homogametic (XX), in chickens females are heterogametic and males are homogametic.
