WHAT DOES GONOSOME MEAN IN ENGLISH?

gonosome

Sex-determination system

A sex-determination system is a biological system that determines the development of sexual characteristics in an organism. Most sexual organisms have two sexes. Occasionally there are hermaphrodites in place of one or both sexes. There are also some species that are only one sex due to parthenogenesis, the act of a female reproducing without fertilization. In many species, sex determination is genetic: males and females have different alleles or even different genes that specify their sexual morphology. In animals this is often accompanied by chromosomal differences, generally through combinations of XY, ZW, XO, ZO chromosomes, or haplodiploidy. The sexual differentiation is generally triggered by a main gene, with a multitude of other genes following in a domino effect. In other cases, sex is determined by environmental variables or social variables. Environmental sex determination preceded the genetically determined systems; it is thought that a temperature-dependent amniote was the common ancestor of animals with sex chromosomes. Some species do not have a fixed sex, and instead change sex based on certain cues.
