& EXPLAIN)
b) Describe the contributions of Sutton, Boveri, McClung, Stevens, Wilson and Morgan to
determining that genetic information is carried on chromosomes. (SHOW WORK & EXPLAIN)
c) Describe the XX-XO, XX-XY and ZZ-ZW mechanisms of sex determination and give
examples of organisms that use each mechanism. (SHOW WORK & EXPLAIN)
d) How does the environment affect sexual phenotype in turtles and alligators? (SHOW WORK
& EXPLAIN)
Solution
a) Chromosomal Theory of Inheritance is a fundamental theory of genetics.Thomas Hunt
Morgan establishes the Chromosomal theory of heredity.In 1907 Morgan was based on
experiments by using Drosphila melanogaster or fruit flies. Drosphila have red eyes.Red eye
colour is dominant.Morgan discovered a recessive mutation that caused white eyes.
B) Boveri-Sutton chromosome theory identifies chromosomes as the carriers of genetic material
which states that chromosomes carry the unit of heredity.
McClung : A zoologist studied the behaviour of chromosomes in the sex cells and discovered the
sex determining chromosome.
Stevens: Stevens was interested in the process of sex determination.
Morgan proposed the Chromosomal Theory of Heredity by using a common fruit fly.
C) Sex determination is a biological system that determines the development of sexual
characteristics.
XX-XO types : In this type females have two homomorphic sex chromosomes XX ,male have
one sex chromosome XO. This type of sex determination seen in cockroaches.
XX-XY : This sex determination occurs in human beings.Females have two identical
homologous sex chromosome XX and males have XY.
ZZ-ZW : Females carry two types of sex chromosome ZW heterogametic and males carry ZZ
homogametic. This type of sex determination occurs in fishes reptiles.
D) Sex determination in reptiles are classified into two categories that is genotypic sex
determination and temperature dependent. Environmental sex determination in which
temperature is a crucial factor in embryonic development. In many turtle species eggs from
cooler nests hatch males and from warmer nests hatch the females.

(SHOW WORK & EXPLAIN) Solution a) Chromosomal Theory of Inheritance is a fundamental theory of genetics.Thomas Hunt Morgan establishes the Chromosomal theory of heredity.In 1907 Morgan was based on experiments by using Drosphila melanogaster or fruit flies. Drosphila have red eyes.Red eye colour is dominant.Morgan discovered a recessive mutation that caused white eyes.

McClung : A zoologist studied the behaviour of chromosomes in the sex cells and discovered the sex determining chromosome. Stevens: Stevens was interested in the process of sex determination. Morgan proposed the Chromosomal Theory of Heredity by using a common fruit fly. C) Sex determination is a biological system that determines the development of sexual characteristics. XX-XO types : In this type females have two homomorphic sex chromosomes XX ,male have one sex chromosome XO. This type of sex determination seen in cockroaches. XX-XY : This sex determination occurs in human beings.Females have two identical homologous sex chromosome XX and males have XY. ZZ-ZW : Females carry two types of sex chromosome ZW heterogametic and males carry ZZ homogametic. This type of sex determination occurs in fishes reptiles. D) Sex determination in reptiles are classified into two categories that is genotypic sex determination and temperature dependent. Environmental sex determination in which temperature is a crucial factor in embryonic development. In many turtle species eggs from cooler nests hatch males and from warmer nests hatch the females.
