| A.)homogametic; heterogametic | ||
| B.) | pleiotropic: epistatic | |
| C.) | heterogametic; homogametic | |
| D.) | epistatic; pleiotropic |
Solution
Heterogametic is a condition in which sex chromosomes of a species are not same e.g. human XY chromosomes while as homogametic is a condition in which sex chromosomes of a species are same e.g. human XX chromosomes. So heterogametes produce two kinds of gametes and homo gametes produce only one kind of gamete.
So the correct option is (C) heterogametic; homogametic
