The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding which statement is incorrect about sex determination in animals, we will analyze each option step by step. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Sex Determination**: - Sex determination refers to the biological system that determines the development of sexual characteristics in an organism. It is primarily influenced by the chromosomes an organism inherits. 2. **Analyzing the Options**: - **Option 1**: "The male autosome of grasshopper is XO and the female autosome is XX." - This statement is correct. In grasshoppers, the male has one X chromosome and no second sex chromosome (XO), while females have two X chromosomes (XX). - **Option 2**: "Drosophila has XY and XX system." - This statement is also correct. In Drosophila (fruit flies), males are XY and females are XX, similar to humans. - **Option 3**: "Birds have females with ZW and males with ZZ." - This statement is correct. In birds, females are ZW and males are ZZ, which is a known system of sex determination in avian species. - **Option 4**: "Insects have exotype all sperms, i.e., males have exotype and one set of autosome plus X." - This statement is incorrect. Insects typically have a sex determination system where males are heteromorphic (XY) and females are homomorphic (XX). The statement incorrectly describes the male sex determination system in insects. 3. **Conclusion**: - After analyzing all the options, we conclude that **Option 4** is the incorrect statement regarding sex determination in animals. ### Final Answer: The incorrect statement regarding sex determination in animals is **Option 4**. ---
