Paternal inheritance of translocation chromosomes in a t(X;21) patient with X linked muscular dystrophy.
A number of DNA probes from the short arm of the X chromosome have been used to study the inheritance of the translocation chromosomes in a girl with an X; autosome translocation and muscular dystrophy. The two translocation chromosomes were found to be derived from the father's single normal X chromosome, ruling out maternal inheritance of a pre-existent mutation and enhancing the concept that...
متن کاملReduced Male Allocation in the Parthenogenetic Hermaphrodite Dugesia Polychroa.
Parthenogenetic lineages that arise in a hermaphroditic, sexual population will inherit the male function from their sexual progenitors. Natural selection then acts to reduce male allocation of the parthenogens, freeing resources presumably for the female function. Depending on age and the available genetic variation, one therefore expects to find reduced male allocation in naturally occurring ...
متن کاملPaternal Cytoplasmic Inheritance
We continue our study of the effects of pollen and seed migration on the cytonuclear structure of mixed-mating plant populations by analyzing two deterministic continent-island models under the critical assumption of paternal cytoplasmic inheritance. The major results of this study that contrast with our previous conclusions based on maternal cytoplasmic inheritance are (i) pollen gene flow can...
متن کاملMultiple supernumerary chromosomes in the pseudogamous parthenogenetic
Polycelis nigrcl is a free-living simultaneous hermaphroditic flatworm that has amphimictic and pseudogamous parthenogenetic biotypes. Sexual individuals are always diploid (2n = 16) and pseudogamous parthenogens are polyploid (usually triploid). Two types of supernumerary chromosomes are found in parthenogens, those resembling autosomes ("A-like") and typical B chromosomes, both of which reach...
متن کاملPaternal inheritance of the primary sex ratio in a copepod.
Uniparentally inherited genetic elements are under strong selection to manipulate sex determination in their host and shift the host sex ratio towards the transmitting sex. For any sex-ratio trait, lineage analysis and quantitative genetics are important tools for characterizing the mode of inheritance (biparental vs. maternal vs. paternal) thereby narrowing the field of possible sex-determinin...
