(C) According to Bridges' genic balance theory of sex determination in Drosophila,the sex of an individual is determined by the ratio of the number of $X$ chromosomes to the number of sets of autosomes $(A)$.- If $X/A = 1.0$,the organism is a normal female.- If $X/A = 0.5$,the organism is a normal male.- If $X/A > 1.0$ (e.g.,$1.5$),the organism is a metafemale or super female.- If $0.5 - If $X/A Since the given ratio is $1.5$,which is greater than $1.0$,the organism is a super female.
