The correct Answer is:
To determine the correct condition that describes the manner of determining sex in the given examples, we will analyze each option step by step. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Drosophila Sex Determination:** - In Drosophila (fruit flies), males have the sex chromosomes XY, while females have XX. - The statement claims that homozygous sex chromosome XX is produced in males, which is incorrect. Therefore, this option is false. 2. **Understanding Bird Sex Determination:** - In birds, the male is represented by the homozygous sex chromosomes ZZ, while the female is heterozygous ZW. - The statement claims that ZZ determines female sex, which is incorrect. Thus, this option is also false. 3. **Understanding Grasshopper Sex Determination:** - In grasshoppers, males have one X chromosome (X0), while females have two X chromosomes (XX). - The statement claims that X0 determines male grasshoppers, which is true. Therefore, this option is correct. 4. **Understanding Human Sex Determination:** - In humans, males have XY chromosomes, while females have XX chromosomes. - Turner syndrome is characterized by the absence of one X chromosome (X0), leading to a total of 45 chromosomes instead of the typical 46. - The statement claims that X0 condition determines female sex, which is misleading. While individuals with Turner syndrome are indeed females, the presence of a Y chromosome is necessary for male determination. Therefore, this option is false. ### Conclusion: The correct answer is that the X0 type of sex chromosome determines male grasshoppers.
