(b) Gynander can only be a female

(c) Gynander has patches of tissues of other sex on it

(d) Gynander has one half body male and the other half as female

This question was posed to me in quiz.

This question is from Inheritance Principles in section Principles of Inheritance and Variation of Biology – Class 12

Answer 1

The correct option is (c) Gynander has patches of tissues of other sex on it

The best I can explain: A gynander differs from a gynandromorph in the fact that a gynander maybe a male or female with patches of tissues of other sex on it while gynandromorph is an individual with the one-half body as male and the other half as a female.
