AI Generated Solution

The correct Answer is:
To determine which of the given options represents a homogametic male, we need to understand the concept of homogametic and heterogametic sexes in different organisms. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand Homogametic and Heterogametic Sexes**: - Homogametic males produce one type of gamete (sperm), while heterogametic males produce two types of gametes (sperm with different sex chromosomes). 2. **Analyze the Options**: - **Plants**: In many plants, sex determination can be complex, but they do not typically follow the XY or ZW systems like animals. - **Man (Humans)**: In humans, males are heterogametic with XY sex chromosomes. They produce two types of gametes: X and Y. - **Insects**: In many insects, males are also heterogametic (e.g., in Drosophila, males are XY). - **Birds**: In birds, the sex determination system is ZW for females and ZZ for males. Here, males are homogametic because they have two identical sex chromosomes (ZZ). 3. **Identify the Correct Answer**: - Based on the analysis, the only option where males are homogametic is **birds**. Males have two Z chromosomes (ZZ), producing only one type of gamete. ### Conclusion: The correct answer is **birds**. ---
