Summary
Chapter 6 discusses the determination of sex and mating type, considering both chromosomal or genetic systems of sex determination and those dependent on environmental factors such as temperature or interactions with conspecific individuals, to end with cases of maternal determination of sex and so-called mixed sex-determination systems. We devote only brief notes to sexual differentiation, to conclude with the mating types of fungi and protists.
