Biology:Z0 sex-determination system
From HandWiki
Short description: Biological system in certain moths
The Z0 sex-determination system is a system that determines the sex of offspring in several moths. In those species, there is one sex chromosome, Z. Males have two Z chromosomes, whereas females have one Z. Males are ZZ, while females are Z0.[1][2][3]
