Increased sexual activity reduces male immune function in Drosophila melanogaster.
Despite the benefits of resistance, susceptibility to infectious disease is commonplace. Although specific susceptibility may be considered an inevitable consequence of the co-evolutionary arms race between parasite and host, a more general constraint may arise from the cost of an immune response. This "cost" hypothesis predicts a tradeoff between immune defense and other components of fitness....
متن کاملSpontaneous recombination in Drosophila melanogaster males.
A second chromosome of Drosophila melanogaster (symbol T-007) isolated from a natural population in Harlingen, Texas, was found to undergo recombination in heterozygous males. Heterozygous males transmit this chromosome with a frequency, k, of about 0.4, considerably reduced from the expected value of 0.5. The frequency of male recombination and the k value are negatively correlated, indicating...
متن کاملMechanisms underlying sexual selection and sexual conflict in Drosophila melanogaster
The revelation that females o f many taxa mate with multiple males has broadened perspectives in sexual selection to encompass the study o f conflicts of interest between males and females over mating and reproduction. Conflict often exists between the sexes over reproductive decisions such as how often to mate, because the optimum mating rate may often be higher for males than for females. Sel...
متن کاملCoordinated regulation of heterochromatic genes in Drosophila melanogaster males.
Dosage compensation modifies the chromatin of X-linked genes to assure equivalent expression in sexes with unequal X chromosome dosage. In Drosophila dosage compensation is achieved by increasing expression from the male X chromosome. The ribonucleoprotein dosage compensation complex (DCC) binds hundreds of sites along the X chromosome and modifies chromatin to facilitate transcription. Loss of...
متن کاملA Gene in Drosophila Melanogaster That Transforms Females into Males.
CULTURE, counted in April, 1944,gave 2 0 males of an unexpected phenoA type (wild type for a series of sex-linked alleles) that could not be accounted for by any of the usual interpretations current in Drosophila genetics. These males were sterile, but studies of descendants of their sibs have shown their nature. It is now clear that these were X X diploids-that is, had the usual composition of...
