The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the XX-XO type of sex chromosomes, let's analyze each option step by step: ### Step 1: Understand the XX-XO sex determination system In the XX-XO sex determination system, which is commonly found in organisms like grasshoppers, the sex of the individual is determined by the presence of X chromosomes. ### Step 2: Analyze the options Now, let's evaluate each option provided in the question: #### (a) Females produce only one type of eggs - In this system, females have two X chromosomes (XX). Since both X chromosomes are the same, they can only produce one type of egg, which carries the X chromosome. - **Conclusion**: This statement is **true**. #### (b) Females have only one X chromosome - This statement is incorrect because females in the XX-XO system have two X chromosomes (XX), not one. - **Conclusion**: This statement is **false**. #### (c) Males have two X chromosomes - Males in the XX-XO system have only one X chromosome (XO), where O represents the absence of a second sex chromosome. - **Conclusion**: This statement is **false**. #### (d) Males are homogametic - Homogametic means having two of the same type of sex chromosomes. In this case, males are heterogametic because they have one X chromosome and one O chromosome (XO). - **Conclusion**: This statement is **false**. ### Step 3: Identify the correct option Based on the analysis: - Option (a) is the only true statement. Therefore, the correct answer is **(a) Females produce only one type of eggs**. ### Final Answer The correct option is **(a) Females produce only one type of eggs**. ---
