Platypus is an off spring of a duck and a water rat, the composition and behavior of platypus sex chromosomes and the theories on the evolution of sex determination is studied. The platypus meiotic chain is formed from a succession of additional rearrangement between sex chromosomes and non-sex-chromosomes.
