The correct Answer is:
A
In Drosphila,occasionally files are obtained in which a part of the body exhibts female characters characters end the other part exhibits male as gynandrophs. These are formed due to misdivison of chromosomes and starts as female with 2A + 2X chromosomes.

Loss of an X-chromosome in a particular cell, during its development, results into

Which event results in gain or loss of chromosomes during cell division cycle?

Name the event during cell division that results in the gain or loss of chromosome.

The person A has only B chromosomes in all its gametes. On the other hand, another person C has chromosome D in half of gametes and chromosome E in the other half of gametes. When chromosomes B and D combine during fertilisation, a female zygote results. On the other hand, combination of B and E chromosomes produces a male zygote. (a) What are chromosomes (i) B (ii) D, and (iii) E ? (b) Out of B, D and E, which two chromosomes are of the same type ? (c) Which chromosome is smaller in size ? (d) What is the general name of chromosomes such as B and E ? (e) Out of the two persons A and C, which one is (i) male, and (ii) female ?

According to Lyon's hypothesis,one of the two X-chromosome in each female somatic cell is known as :

Any change during cell division that result is loss or gain of one or more chromoesomes is known as :

Assertion(A): Gamete disseminated by the male determines whether the child produced will be male or female in Homo sapiens. Reason (R): Some genes on X-chromosome and Y-chromosomes determine the gender of the progeny. Its a polygenic trait.
