Types of Sex Ratio
The sex ratio varies according to the age profile of the population. It is generally divided into four:
- primary sex ratio — ratio at fertilization
- secondary sex ratio — ratio at birth
- tertiary sex ratio — ratio in sexually active organisms
- quaternary sex ratio — ratio in post-reproductive organisms
Measuring these is a problem since there are no clear boundaries between them.
