Zorluk: OrtaSex Determination and Sex-Linked Traits

Match each sex determination system or sex-linked inheritance pattern on the left with its correct biological characteristic or organism example on the right.

  • XX-XO SystemObserved in insects like grasshoppers where males possess a single X chromosome (XOXO) and females possess two (XXXX).
  • ZZ-ZW SystemObserved in birds where females are the heterogametic sex (ZWZW) and males are homogametic (ZZZZ).
  • X-linked Recessive InheritanceExpressed predominantly in males and transmitted from heterozygous carrier mothers to their sons.
  • Y-linked (Holandric) InheritancePassed exclusively from an affected father to all of his sons, never affecting females.

Cevap

The correct pairings are: XX-XO System matches grasshoppers with XOXO males; ZZ-ZW System matches birds with heterogametic ZWZW females; X-linked Recessive Inheritance matches traits passed from carrier mothers to sons; Y-linked Inheritance matches traits passed exclusively from an affected father to all sons.
Each mechanism accurately corresponds to its characteristic biological model: XX-XO occurs in grasshoppers (XOXO males); ZZ-ZW occurs in birds where females are heterogametic (ZWZW); X-linked recessive traits pass from carrier mothers to sons; and Y-linked traits pass exclusively from fathers to sons.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the chromosomal structure of the XX-XO system.
Determine that males lack a Y chromosome (XOXO) while females have two X chromosomes (XXXX), which is characteristic of grasshoppers.
Distinguishing insect sex determination from mammalian systems.
2
Identify the heterogametic sex in the ZZ-ZW system.
Recognize that in birds, females are heterogametic (ZWZW) and males are homogametic (ZZZZ).
Reversing the standard male-heterogametic concept seen in humans.
3
Compare transmission pathways of X-linked versus Y-linked traits.
X-linked recessive conditions are passed from carrier females to sons, whereas Y-linked traits are passed strictly along the male line (father to son).
Applying rules of sex-linked pedigree analysis.
