Reports of sex differences in crossing-over in animals, published since Haldane in 1922 suggested that crossing-over should be less frequent in the heterogametic sex, have been reviewed and discussed. No general rule is discernible apart from the absence of crossing-over in males of the dipteran genera Drosophila and Phryne and in females of some lepidopteran species, due apparently to failure of chiasma formation in the heterogametic sex. In the majority of animal species examined crossing-over occurs in both sexes. While there is some tendency in mammals for crossover values in females to exceed those in males, it was of greater interest to find that marked sex-differences occur in the same species (data chiefly from the house mouse) in opposite directions in different chromosomes. The influence of factors acting locally in the chromosomes, such as those associated with hetero-chromatin, were indicated as promising subjects for the study of variations associated with sex.
