The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding sex determination in most insects, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Sex Determination**: - Sex determination refers to the biological mechanism that determines the development of sexual characteristics in an organism. 2. **Types of Sex Determination**: - There are various types of sex determination systems, including chromosomal systems, environmental systems, and others. In insects, the chromosomal system is most relevant. 3. **Male Heterogamity**: - In many insects, males are heterogametic, meaning they have two different sex chromosomes (e.g., XY), while females are homogametic (XX). This is referred to as male heterogamity. 4. **Exotype vs. JW Type**: - The terms "exotype" and "JW type" refer to different classifications of sex determination systems. In the context of insects, "exotype" is commonly associated with the male heterogamity system. 5. **Conclusion**: - Given that most insects exhibit male heterogamity as their mode of sex determination, the correct answer to the question is **Option B: Exotype Male Heterogamity**. ### Final Answer: **The sex determination in most of the insects is Exotype Male Heterogamity (Option B).** ---
