Abstract
It is suggested that sex in Habrobracon may be determined by multiple sex factors rather than by a single sex factor as assumed by Whiting. Hetero-zygosity for these factors produces fernaleness, homo-zygosity produces maleness. Diploid [male][male] appear following inbreeding because it leads to homozygosity. Experiments are outlined by which this suggestion can be further tested.This publication has 8 references indexed in Scilit:
