The correct Answer is:
To answer the question regarding the XX-XO sex chromosome complement, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Sex Chromosome Systems**: - In various organisms, sex is determined by different chromosomal systems. The XX-XY and XX-XO systems are two common types. 2. **Identifying the XX-XO System**: - In the XX-XO system, females have two X chromosomes (XX), while males have one X chromosome and no second sex chromosome (XO). This means that males do not have a Y chromosome. 3. **Gamete Production**: - Females (XX) produce gametes that contain one X chromosome each. Therefore, all female gametes are the same (homo gametes). - Males (XO) produce two types of gametes: one with an X chromosome (X) and one without any sex chromosome (O). 4. **Example of Organisms with XX-XO System**: - This system is commonly found in certain insects. A well-known example of an organism that exhibits the XX-XO sex determination system is the cockroach. 5. **Conclusion**: - Therefore, the XX-XO sex chromosome complement occurs in cockroaches, which belong to the class Insecta in the phylum Arthropoda. ### Final Answer: The XX-XO sex chromosome complement occurs in cockroaches. ---
