Sex Determination, Sex Ratios and Genetic Conflict
Genetic mechanisms of sex determination are unexpectedly diverse and change rapidly during evolution. We review the role of genetic conflict as the driving force behind this diversity and turnover. Genetic conflict occurs when different components of a genetic system are subject to selection in opposite directions. Conflict may occur between genomes (including paternal-maternal and parentalzygo...
متن کاملSex determination methods in guppy (Poecilia reticulat)
Guppy, Poecilia reticulate, is a member of the Poecilidae family. This species is viviparous and one of the most popular ornamental fish in the world, whose phenotype is usually determined during the last ten days of pregnancy. However, most differentiation and development of secondary sexual traits are formed during adolescence, i.e. about 16 weeks after birth. These secondary characteristics ...
متن کاملDo operational sex ratios influence sex allocation in viviparous lizards with temperature-dependent sex determination?
Under certain environmental situations, selection may favour the ability of females to adjust the sex ratio of their offspring. Two recent studies have suggested that viviparous scincid lizards can modify the sex ratio of the offspring they produce in response to the operational sex ratio (OSR). Both of the species in question belong to genera that have also recently been shown to exhibit tempe...
متن کاملSex chromosomes, sex determination, and sex-linked sequences in Microtidae.
The Arvicolidae is a widely distributed rodent group with several interesting characteristics in their sex chromosomes. Here, we summarize the actual knowledge of some of these characteristics. This mammalian group has species with abnormal sex determination systems. In fact, some species present the same karyotype in both males and females, with total absence of a Y chromosome, and hence of SR...
متن کاملSex, Sex Inheritance and Sex Determination in Paramecium Aurelia.
those produced by x-irradiation, the above result and further experiments producing mutations with neutrons may lead to new conclusions regarding the interaction of radiation ions with genes and hence of the size and structure of the gene. It is interesting to note that the ratio of effectiveness (5 or 6 to 1) for the effects on mature sperm of neutron as compared with x-irradiation is comparab...
