In Drosophila the XXY condition leads to femaleness whereas in human beings the same condition leads to Klinefelter's syndrome in males. It proves:

1. In human beings, the Y chromosome is active in sex determination.
2. Y chromosome is active in sex determination in both human beings and Drosophila.
3. In Drosophila Y-chromosome decides femaleness.
4. The Y chromosome of man has genes for the syndrome.
