Solution
The correct option is D grasshoppers
Grasshoppers have an XX-XO sex-determination system. Males only have one X chromosome (XO), while females have two X chromosomes (XX).
In hens and parrots: ZW-ZZ system is found, the ovum determines the sex of the offspring. Males are the homogametic sex (ZZ), while females are the heterogametic sex (ZW).
Drosophila has an XX-XY sex-determination system. Males have XY and females have XX chromosomes.
So, the correct answer is 'grasshoppers'.
