MOVING SEX GENES. “When sex is determined by a single locus or chromosomal region, the corresponding chromosome pair becomes the sex chromosomes. However, the affiliation of the master sex-determining gene and a chromosome are not always forever. The same sex-determining gene can reside on different chromosomes in closely related species, for example in the salmonids (rainbow trout, salmon, and relatives).”
