As we have studied in:

Sex Determination: Z0 Female & ZZ Males Type -

  • The females have odd sex chromosomes (AA + Z0) while the males have two homomorphic sex chromosomes.
  • The females are heterogametic, producing two types of gametes; half with X-chromosome and the other half without any sex chromosome.
  • It is seen in butterflies and moths.
