(From Warmke. H. E., 1946. "Sex Determination and Sex Balance in Melandrinmr Am. J. Botany, 33, Fig. 1, p. 651.) many plants, the heterogametic sex may be distinguished cytologically by the fact that it contains a heteromorphic pair of chromosomes, the segregation of which at meiosis leads to production of the two kinds of gametes. The heteromorphic pair is generally known as the X-Y pair (Figure 8-9). The Y element is missing from the hotriogametic sex and the X element is represented twice. In some cases, as in several species of grasshopper, the Y element is missing altogether so that the male is XO and the female XX. In other cases, the praying mantid, for example, the X element is compound and consists of two elements which pair CYTOGENETICS / 189.
