Answer 2

• The sex ratio is defined as the ratio of females to males in a population.
• It is explained by Fisher's principle that the ratio tends to be 1:1 in most sexually reproducing species..
• Here most of the species deviate from an even sex ratio, either periodically or permanently.
• It is the number of females per 1000 males in a given population.
• If sex ratio is 1:1 ,then there will be 1000 females for 1000 males.
• The reason for skewed sex ratio in India :
• The main reason is that the rate of female infanticide in increased.
• This takes place mainly in the areas of Haryana.
• The main reason is that there is always a high preference in society for the male children.
