The mechanism of sex determination in vertebrates-are sex steroids the key-factor?

Journal of experimental zoology. Part A, Ecological genetics and physiology - 1 Aug 2010

Nakamura Masahisa

Abstract excerpt

In many vertebrate species, sex is determined at fertilization of zygotes by sex chromosome composition, knows as genotypic sex determination (GSD). But in some species-fish, amphibians and reptiles-sex is determined by environmental factors; in particular by temperature-dependent sex determination (TSD). However, little is known about the mechanisms involved in TSD and GSD. How does TSD differ from GSD? As is...
