Description


In this course students will learn what is sex determination in various living forms, on what factors sex/ gender of an organism depends. Also students gain understanding  and life long learning on how this is different in different organisms. Some special systems are discussed in the course, which are quite interesting. In this course you will find the XY system in Humans and mammals, ZW,  XO system is discussed here, special system of sex determination in order Hymenoptera is discussed. Here you will understand how different alleles or genes on chromosomes, or combination of different chromosomes affects the gender of an organism. Also as bonus , I have uploaded one more course for all students, where they will understand the clear difference between what is chromosome, homologous and non-homologous chromosomes, what are chromatids etc. This course is made with amazing slide presentations, which can be used by students as study notes for their exams.


So I welcome all students, curious learners to come and enroll for this course. This course will give you clear understanding on each and every systems involved in various different organisms. There are other courses too which you can check on my profile, the bestselling among them is the Biotechnology: Principles of  Inheritance.

Who this course is for:

  • All students of class 11, 12th standard, Higher school, college students, Biology learners, all curious learners, Genetics students
