Thus far we have seen that, during the course of sex chromosome differentiation, the one which was elected to accumulate factors governing the development of the homogametic sex was conserved in its entirety. The differentiation was accomplished exclusively at the expense of the element which was elected to be the determiner of the heterogametic sex, the Y or the W.
