Detailed Solution

The type of sex determination in grasshoppers is XO-XX. Besides autosomes, females have two X chromosomes while males have only one allosome. So, the number of chromosomes in the male is one less than in the female. 

Males and females have equal number of chromosomes in XX-XY (mammals, e.g., rabbits and humans) and ZW-ZZ (e.g., fowls) types of sex determination because both male and female have two allosomes, besides autosomes.
