    A)  maleness                           

    B)  femaleness

    C)  infertility                            

    D)  None of the above

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

                     In Drosophila, the ratio of X-chromosome and number of complete sets of autosome determine the sex. Y-chromosome does not play any role in sex-determination. Presence of one or 2 X-chromosomes is more important than   the   presence   or   absence   of Y-chromosome, eg, if X/A ratio is more than one the individuals will be superfemale. If X/A ratio is 1 ? Female.                 If X/A ratio is between 1-0.5 ? Intersex If X/A ratio is 0.5 ? Male and If it is less than 0.5 than super male.
