Select the incorrect statement.

Options

  1. AMale fruit fly is heterogametic.
  2. BIn male grasshoppers, 50% of sperms have no sex-chromosome.
  3. CIn domesticated fowls, sex of progeny depends on the type of sperm rather than egg.
  4. DHuman males have one of their sex-chromosome much shorter than the other.

Correct answer

C. In domesticated fowls, sex of progeny depends on the type of sperm rather than egg.

Step-by-step solution

1) The male fruit fly has XY sex chromosomes and produces two types of gametes. Hence, it is called heterogametic. 2) The female grasshopper is XX and the male XX-XO systems produce gametes with (X) or without (O) a sex chromosome. Hence, in male grasshopper, 50% of sperms have no chromosome. 3) Birds have a ZW sex-determination system. The sex of the embryo is determined by the egg in birds and not by the sperm. However, it is written here that the sperm decides the sex of the progeny. 4) In humans, the Y chromoso
