Answer

  1. Assertion is true but reason is false.

Explanation:

In mammals, the presence of a Y chromosome is required for the development of a male sex phenotype. ln contrast, the Y chromosome plays no significant role in sex determination in Drosophila. A Y chromosome is required for maleness, moreover, the presence of a single Y chromosome is sufficient even in the presence of several X chromosomes (e.g., XXXXY)
