Solution
In humans, when XY chromosomes are present, it is a male. When XX chromosomes are present, it is a female.
While in Drosophila, the sex depends on the ratio of number of X chromosomes to the number of autosomes. (A)
If the X:A ratio is 1 it is a female
If theX:A ratio is 0.5 it is male
If the X:A ratio is between 0.5 and 1 it is intersex
If below 0.5 - metamale
If above 1 - metafemale
The predictions of the chromosomes are as follows -
