Step-by-step solution
In grasshoppers, the sex determination mechanism is of the XX-XO type. Males are heterogametic with only one X chromosome (XO) and produce two types of sperms: one with an X chromosome (A + X) and one without it (A + 0). In Drosophila, sex determination is of the XX-XY type. Males are heterogametic (XY) and produce two types of sperms: A + X and A + Y. In birds, sex determination is of the ZZ-ZW type. Females are heterogametic (ZW) and produce two types of ova: A + Z and A + W. In honeybees, sex determination is ba
