WHAT DOES SUPERFEMALE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Metafemale

A metafemale is a low viability Drosophila fruit fly with a female phenotype in which the ratio of X chromosomes to sets of autosomes exceeds 1.0. For example: a fly with one X chromosome and two sets of autosomes is a normal male, a fly with two X chromosomes and two sets of autosomes is a normal female, and a fly with three X chromosomes and two sets of autosomes is a metafemale. American geneticist Calvin Bridges, who discovered the genic balance sex-determination system in Drosophila in 1921, used the terms "superfemale" and "supermale". German-American geneticist Curt Stern proposed the alternate terms "metafemale" and "metamale" in 1959.
