Different ancestral autosomes independently evolved into sex chromosomes in snakes, birds, and mammals. In snakes and birds, females are ZW and males are ZZ; in mammals, females are XX and males are XY. Although X and Z Chromosomes retain nearly all ancestral genes, sex-specific W and Y Chromosomes...
