Mechanisms of sex determination

Chromosomal sex determination: In flies and mammals females are the homogametic sex (XX) and males the heterogametic sex (XY). In butterflies and birds males are the homogametic sex (ZZ) and females the heterogametic sex (ZW). Drosophila melanogaster (fruit fly) XX females; XY males X:autosome ratio determines sex 1.0 female; 0.5 male Mammals The single Y-linked gene SRY determines the male phenotype.

Environmental sex determination In some reptiles, the temperature of embryonic development determines sex.

Clownfish live in small groups inhabiting a single anemone. The group consist of a breeding pair, which cohabit with a few non-reproductive, smaller male clownfish. When the female dies, the dominant male changes sex and becomes the female.

The Y chromosome is necessary and sufficient for male development! But what on Y is important for male development?

The Y chromosome is a wasteland; it contains very few genes. Which one controls maleness.

receptor AMH Testosterone (steroid) and anti-Mullerian hormone (peptide) both regulate transcription

Steroids are lipid soluble and can pass through the plasma membrane. Their receptors are in the cell. Peptide hormones cannot pass through the plasma membrane. Their receptors are in the cell membrane.
