The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the chromosome composition in male grasshoppers and moths, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Chromosome Composition**: - Male grasshoppers and moths have two pairs of autosomes. Autosomes are chromosomes that are not involved in determining the sex of an organism. 2. **Identify the Sex Chromosomes**: - In male grasshoppers, the sex chromosomes are represented as X0, which indicates that there is one X chromosome and no Y chromosome. The "0" signifies the absence of a second sex chromosome. 3. **Analyze the Options**: - The options given are: - X only - X and Y - Y only - None of these - Since male grasshoppers have one X chromosome and no Y chromosome, the correct representation of their sex chromosomes is X0. 4. **Determine the Correct Answer**: - Since the question specifically asks about the sex chromosomes in male grasshoppers and moths, and we have established that male grasshoppers have only one X chromosome (X0), the correct answer is "X only". ### Final Answer: - The correct option is **X only**. ---
