In mammals, male sex determination, as well as spermatogenesis, is controlled by genes on the Y chromosome. Evolutionary comparisons may be used to detect and test candidate genes for these functions, under the hypothesis that the rapid evolution of the mammalian Y chromosome causes it to contain fe
Animals have evolved a bewildering diversity of mechanisms to determine the two sexes. Studies of sex determination genes โ their history and function โ in non-model insects and __Drosophila__ have allowed us to begin to understand the generation of sex determination diversity. One common theme from
## Abstract Sex determination in major vertebrate groups appears to be very variable, including systems of male heterogamety, female heterogamety and a variety of genetic and environmental sex determining systems. Yet comparative studies of sex chromosomes and sex determining genes now suggest that
