Distinctive scents could therefore act in the same way as distinctive markings and coloration to ward off potential visual predators such as birds. Chemical ecology of an insect-plant interaction in the Sinai ecosystem. In: Gilbert F, editor. Many species, including L.

Often in this mode, the females are homogametic having two X chromosomes and consequently producing only one type of gamete, Xand the males are heterogametic having one X and one Y chromosome and consequently producing two types of gametes, X or Y [4].
Males being the heterogametic sex does not occur in every mammal. Although the X chromosome is larger than the Y chromosome and carries over genes, there must be the presence of a Y chromosome in order for the male phenotype to be expressed. The number of Barr bodies is determined by number of X chromosomes n — 1.

This is because the activity of enzymes and inhibitors controlling the production of steroid hormones such as oestrogen is affected by temperature. Sex Determination is the process by which two sexes, male and female, become into being.
For example, in birds, it is the female sex that is heterogametic and the male that is homogametic.
