To solve this problem, we need to analyze each statement and determine which one is incorrect:Option 1: Male fruit fly is heterogametic. - In Drosophila (fruit fly), males are XY, making them heterogametic. - This statement is correct.Option 2: In male grasshoppers, 50% of sperms have no sex-chromosome. - Male grasshoppers have an XO sex determination system, where males are XO and females are XX. - Therefore, 50% of the sperm will have no sex chromosome (O). - This statement is correct.Option 3: In domesticated fowls, sex of progeny depends on the type of sperm rather than egg. - In birds, including domesticated fowls, the sex determination system is ZW, where females are ZW and males are ZZ. - The sex of the progeny is determined by the type of egg (Z or W) rather than the sperm. - This statement is incorrect.Option 4: Human males have one of their sex-chromosomes much shorter than the other. - Human males are XY, where the Y chromosome is much shorter than the X chromosome. - This statement is correct.Therefore, the incorrect statement is Option 3.
