The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, "In which organism is the female homogametic and also has one chromosome more than the male?", we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the terms - **Homogametic**: An organism that produces gametes (sex cells) that are all the same type. For example, females are typically homogametic if they have two of the same sex chromosomes (XX). - **Heterogametic**: An organism that produces two different types of gametes. For example, males are typically heterogametic if they have two different sex chromosomes (XY). - **Chromosome count**: We need to determine which organism has females that have one more chromosome than males. ### Step 2: Analyze the options 1. **Birds (e.g., chickens)**: In birds, the female is ZW (heterogametic) and the male is ZZ (homogametic). So, this does not fit the criteria. 2. **Drosophila (fruit flies)**: In Drosophila, females are XX (homogametic) and males are XY (heterogametic). This does not fit the criteria either. 3. **Chicks (birds)**: Similar to the first option, females are ZW and males are ZZ. This does not satisfy the condition. 4. **Grasshoppers**: In grasshoppers, females are XX (homogametic) and males are XO (heterogametic). Here, the female has one more chromosome than the male (two X chromosomes vs. one X chromosome). ### Step 3: Conclusion Based on the analysis, the organism where the female is homogametic and has one chromosome more than the male is the **grasshopper**. ### Final Answer The correct answer is **grasshopper**. ---
