Chromosomes are known to determine the sex in the case of bonellia but in some cases the environmental factors are also responsible to influence the sex of the Bonellia
Explanation:
- These worms are dimorphic in nature that is they contain both the male and the female reproductive organs within themselves.
- The female worm is very long when compared to the male worm and the male is found in the oviduct of the female worm.
- When some changes occur in the environment they tend to develop into male and the female worms accordingly.
