Conflict:
This chapter has a lot to say regarding the x and y chromosomes.
X and Y chromosomes are other wise known as sex chromosomes. These chromosomes very much determine the sex of the body. Each person starts out with a X chromosome from the parents. However if one Inherits a y chromosome from the father, they are a male. If one inherits a x chromosome from the father, they are a female. There are some rare cases such as when a female inherits both x and y chromosomes. This chapter also explains the occurrence of color blindness. Color blindness is much more commonly found in males. This is because men do not have a spare X chromosome. It is because these genes are found on the x chromosomes. Thus, lack of x chromosomes results in color blindness.
Sexually Antagonistic genes are also a big part of the chapter in which the determining of nature of the sex, was decided by genes rather than temperature. This in turn resulted in which the lack of this gene made people female. Eventually the genes called for specific inheritance for males and females. Females did not require the genes found in males, therefore it resulted in one sex
s advantage and the other's disadvantage. It is other wise known as Sexually Antagonistic Genes.
