السؤال 84

A student states that every living thing settles sex with X and Y chromosomes in the way humans do. Why is that statement wrong?

  1. Because the human arrangement is one system among several that living things useالإجابة الصحيحة
  2. Because sex is never determined by chromosomes in living things other than humans
  3. Because species differ in chromosome number, so no other species can have a sex chromosome pair
  4. Because every species has its own system, so no two species share one

الشرح

Generalising from one species to all living things is the error: the arrangement described for humans is real, but it is not the only way sex is settled among living things. Swinging to the opposite claim, that chromosomes never take part outside humans, replaces one overstatement with another.
