Stick insects: parthenogenesis, polyploidy and beyond
The most common way animals reproduce is bisexuality, namely through the mixis of male and female gametes. Bisexual reproduction relies on the Mendelian mechanism, although several additional modes also occur. In turn, the Mendelian inheritance of genetic variability stands on the meiotic process, which entrains recombination and chromosome reshuffling within the frame of a balanced segregation...
متن کاملThe Leptynia hispanica species complex (Insecta Phasmida): polyploidy, parthenogenesis, hybridization and more.
The Leptynia hispanica stick insect species complex includes bisexuals, triploid and tetraploid parthenogenetic populations, suggesting that polyploidy has played a central role in the evolution of this complex. An analysis of karyotype, mitochondrial DNA (cox2) and nuclear DNA (ef1-alpha) markers was carried out to clarify phylogenetic relationships and microevolutionary/phylogeographical patt...

متن کاملPolyploidy
Polyploidy is defined as an increase in genome DNA content. Throughout the plant and animal kingdoms specific cell types become polyploid as part of their differentiation programs. When this occurs in subsets of tissues within an organism it is termed somatic polyploidy, because it is distinct from the increase in ploidy that is inherited through the germline and present in every cell type of t...
