● The mechanism of `color{Violet}"sex determination"` has always been a puzzle before the geneticists.
● The initial clue about the `color{Violet}"genetic/ chromosomal mechanism"` of sex determination can be traced back to some of the experiments carried out in `color{Violet}"insects"`.
● In fact, the `color{Violet}"cytological observations"` made in a number of insects led to the development of the concept of `color{Violet}"genetic/chromosomal"` basis of sex-determination.
● `color{Violet}"Henking"` (1891) could trace a specific nuclear structure all through `color{Violet}"spermatogenesis"` in a few insects, and it was also observed by him that `color{Violet}"50 per cent"` of the sperm received this structure after spermatogenesis, whereas the other 50 percent sperm did not receive it.
● Henking gave a name to this structure as the `color{Violet}"X body"` but he could not explain its significance.
