Abstract

Sex‐determining mechanisms appear to be very diverse in invertebrates. Haplodiploidy is a widespread mode of reproduction in insects: males are haploid and females are diploid. Several models have been proposed for the genetic mechanisms of sex determination in haplodiploid Hymenoptera. Although a one‐locus multi‐allele model is valid for several species, sex determination in other species cannot be explained by any of the existing models. Evidence for and predictions of two recently proposed models are discussed. Some genetic and molecular approaches are proposed to study sex determination in Hymenoptera.

## Abstract Thirty‐one males with testicular germ‐cell tumors were studied by Southern hybridization using X‐ and Y‐chromosome‐specific probes as well as a pseudoautosomal probe. Densitometric analysis showed changes in the relative dosage of Y‐chromosomal fragments in tumor DNA from 12 out of 31 p

Two fundamental questions concerning vertebrate sexuality are what controls the stability of gender throughout the life of an individual and what are the genetic, immunological, and endocrine factors controlling sex determination and differentiation. Significant aspects of both issues cannot readily
