Gynandromorphs develop in Drosophila when the two cells in the two-celled proembryo will have one of the following chromosomal sets

A

$2A + XX$ in one cell and $2A + X$ in the other

B

$2A + X$ in both the cells

C

$2A + XXX$ in both the cells

D

All of the above

Solution

(a) Gynandromorphs are formed due to misdivision of chromosomes and start as female with $2A + 2X$ chromosomes.

One of the $x$-chromosomes is lost during the division of the cell with the result that one of the daughter cells possesses $2A + 2X $chromosomes and the other $2A + X.$
