متن کاملGenetically determined susceptibility to cancer.
This review summarizes evidence for genes that exist in humans that affect susceptibility to cancer. It is not possible yet to precisely describe the relationship between so-called "cancer gene(s)" and carcinogenesis. Among the questions that remain open is the nature of the events that must occur in individuals with a cancer gene before clinically significant cancer develops. Regardless of the...
متن کاملSex Reversal in Amphibians.
Amphibians have been widely used to study developmental biology due to the fact that embryo development takes place independently of the maternal organism and that observations and experimental approaches are easy. Some amphibians like Xenopus became model organisms in this field. In the first part of this article, the differentiation of the gonads in amphibians and the mechanisms governing thi...
متن کاملSex Reversal in Birds.
Sexual differentiation in birds is controlled genetically as in mammals, although the sex chromosomes are different. Males have a ZZ sex chromosome constitution, while females are ZW. Gene(s) on the sex chromosomes must initiate gonadal sex differentiation during embryonic life, inducing paired testes in ZZ individuals and unilateral ovaries in ZW individuals. The traditional view of avian sexu...
