The hierarchical relation between X-chromosomes and autosomal sex determining genes in Drosophila.
The classical balance concept of sex determination in Drosophila states that the X-chromosome carries dispersed female-determining factors. Besides, a number of autosomal genes are known that, when mutant, transform chromosomal females (XX) into pseudomales (tra), or intersexes (ix, dsx, dsx). To test whether large duplications of the X-chromosome have a feminizing effect on the sexual phenotyp...
متن کاملVital Genes That Flank Sex-Lethal, an X-Linked Sex-Determining Gene of DROSOPHILA MELANOGASTER.
The X-chromosome:autosome balance in D. melanogaster appears to control both sex determination and dosage compensation through effects on a maternally influenced sex-linked gene called Sex-lethal (Sxl; 1-19.2). To facilitate molecular and genetic analysis of Sxl, we attempted to determine the locations of all ethyl methanesulfonate (EMS)-mutable genes vital to both sexes in the region between 6...
متن کاملSex from W to Z: evolution of vertebrate sex chromosomes and sex determining genes.
Sex determination in major vertebrate groups appears to be very variable, including systems of male heterogamety, female heterogamety and a variety of genetic and environmental sex determining systems. Yet comparative studies of sex chromosomes and sex determining genes now suggest that these differences are more apparent than real. The sex chromosomes of even widely divergent groups now appear...
متن کاملThe effect of heterozygous autosomal inversions on induced exchanges between the attached-X and Y chromosomes in Drosophila melanogaster females.
INCE the original observation of STURTEVANT (1919) a large body of data has accumulated substantiating the contention that, in Drosophila melanogaster females, inversion heterozygosity in one part of the genome increases the frequency of recombination in the remainder of the genome. This effect has been demonstrated for spontaneous meiotic crossing over (see, for instance, SCHULTZ and REDFIELD ...
متن کاملA comparative analysis of highly conserved sex-determining genes between Apis mellifera and Drosophila melanogaster.
A comparison of the most conserved sex-determining genes between the fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster, and the honey bee, Apis mellifera, was performed with bioinformatics tools developed for computational molecular biology. An initial set of protein sequences already described in the fruit fly as participants of the sex-determining cascade was retrieved from the Gene Ontology database (http:...
