The Philippine Sea plate is tectonically unique where most of the boundaries are convergent. The Pacific plate is subducting underneath the Philippine Sea plate to the east while the northwestern section of the Philippine Sea plate is subducting underneath the Eurasian plate.

Philippine Plate is a tectonic plate containing marine lithosphere that stretches beneath the Philippine Sea, to the eastward of the Philippines. Most parts of the Philippines, covering northern Luzon, are the division of the Philippine Mobile Belt, which is tectonically separated from the Philippine Sea Plate.

An XXY chromosome constitution produces ________ development in humans and _________ development in fruit flies. Group of answer
Andrews [41]

Answer:

The answer is E.

Explanation:

The question is incomplete. Here is the complete question:

An XXY chromosome constitution produces ________ development in humans and _________ development in fruit flies.

a. female; female

b. male; male

c. female; male

d. male; female

e. male, intersex

Normally,  possessing two sex chromosomes for humans, having 3 sex chromosomes is an abnormality but it still results in a development of a male, who is infertile.

Fruit Flies are a species which possess 3 sex chromosomes normally, and in the cases in which there are 2 X choromosomes, it encourages the development of intersex fruit flies. Situations where there are 3 X choromosomes present result in female fruit flies and where there is only a single X chromosome result in male fruit flies.

I hope this answer helps.
