The hymenopterans have a method of sex determination called ____, which is a type of meiotic parthenogenesis in which a fertilized egg develops into a female and an unfertilized egg develops into a male. This system is based on a single gene called the ____ gene (you may abbreviate the name of the gene). If an individual is heterozygous for this gene, it results in the production of female-specific mRNA from the second gene called the ____ gene, which in turn results in female-specific mRNA from a third gene called the ____ gene, resulting in a genetic cascade that causes the development of a female (you may abbreviate the gene names)
