Monotremes, the most primitive mammals, have a very intriguing sex determination scheme that shares elements of both of these systems. Please use the internet to learn more about how sex in monotremes is determined. Then write a short essay (300-400 words) describing this system and comparing/contrasting it to the XX/XY and ZZ/ZW systems.arrow_forward
