Abstract
The cells of heterogametic females with ZW sex chromosomes express H-Y or H-W antigen. A hypothesis is formulated to explain why these animals are capable of 'practicing' amphigonia retardata, i.e., delay in actual fertilization of eggs by retaining viable sperm within the oviduct for a considerable time (several months).Mesh:
