Assume that you are told that a fruit fly, Drosophila, has the XO chromosome complement. You are also told that the autosomal complement is a normal 2n. You know that a humans with genotype XO would be female. What would be the sex of this XO fly and why? Group of answer choices This fly would be considered intersex based on its X:A ratio. This fly would be female due to no Y chromosome. Sex would depend on temperature dependent aromatase expression. This fly would be a female for the same reason the human would be female. This fly would be male due to an X:A ratio of 1/2.
