Given below are two statements.

Statement I  : Genetic make up of the sperm determines the sex of the offspring in grasshoppers.

Statement II : In grasshoppers, 50 percent of the total sperm produced contain the Z chromosome, while the remaining 50 percent contain the W chromosome, in addition to autosomes.

In light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below.

In grasshoppers, as in many other organisms, the determination of the sex of the offspring is often influenced by the genetic makeup of the sperm. Grasshoppers have a system of sex determination called the XO system, where males typically carry only one (X) chromosome, and females carry two X chromosomes.

The genetic makeup of the ova produced by the hen determines the sex of the offspring. The hen contributes either a Z or a W chromosome to the offspring, while the rooster always contributes a Z chromosome. The combination of Z and W chromosomes determines whether the chick will be male (ZZ) or female (ZW).
