Abstract

In soma and germ cells of Drosophila, the X:A ratio builds a primary signal for sex determination, and in both tissues Sex-lethal (Sxl) function is required for cells to enter the female pathway. In somatic cells of XX animals, the products of X-chromosomal elements of the X:A ratio activate Sxl. Here I show that sisterless-b (sis-b), which is the X-chromosomal element of the somatic X:A ratio that has best been analysed, is not required for oogenesis. I also present evidence that Sxl function might not be sufficient to direct germ ce
