Answer

  1. Formation of two types of gametes by one sex and one type by other sex

Explanation:

Heterogamesis: forming two kinds of gametes of which one produces male offspring and the other female offspring. Heterogametic sex (digametic sex) refers to the sex of a species in which the sex chromosomes are not the same. For example, in humans, males, with an X and a Y sex chromosome, would be referred to as the heterogametic sex, and females having two X sex chromosomes would be referred to as the homogametic sex.
