The fact that sex is determined by behavior and that the chromosome information was unable to link with the partner chromosome when reproducing is so strange. It would be interesting to see how many more species have interesting occurrences like this.

The different behaviors will cause a great change in which birds are dominant in the population. For example, while the the tan sparrow are protective of their young the white striped birds are more sexually active and reproduce more often as a result. This would most likely lead to a greater number of white stripe sparrow to the tan sparrows.Tatayania Robinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02403937972630012808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3360356351594869925.post-2702531605062845322016-11-30T11:43:36.036-05:002016-11-30T11:43:36.036-05:00This is really interesting, I have not heard of th...This is really interesting, I have not heard of the formation of a supergene prior to this. It is strange that the genetic information in the chromosome was unable to link with the partner chromosome when reproducing. It is also interesting that the different morphs display different behaviors. It would be interesting to see if this case has happened in any other types of species and what kind of behaviors they display, if similar to this.
