The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the sex determination ratio in an organism given by \( \frac{X}{A} = 1.5 \), we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Variables - \( X \) represents the number of X chromosomes. - \( A \) represents the number of sets of autosomes. ### Step 2: Apply the Genic Balance Theory - The Genic Balance Theory, proposed by C.B. Bridges in 1922, states that the sex of an organism can be determined by the ratio of X chromosomes to the number of sets of autosomes. ### Step 3: Analyze the Given Ratio - The given ratio is \( \frac{X}{A} = 1.5 \). - According to the Genic Balance Theory: - If \( \frac{X}{A} = 1.0 \), the organism is a normal female. - If \( \frac{X}{A} = 0.5 \), the organism is a normal male. - If \( \frac{X}{A} \) falls between 1.0 and 0.5, the organism exhibits an intersex phenotype. - If \( \frac{X}{A} = 1.5 \), the organism is classified as a super female. ### Step 4: Conclusion - Since the ratio \( \frac{X}{A} = 1.5 \) indicates that the organism is a super female, we conclude that the answer to the question is **super female**. ### Final Answer The organism will be a **super female**. ---
