Sperm competition and the dynamics of X chromosome drive: stability and extinction.

Genetics - 1 Apr 2002

Taylor Jesse E, Jaenike John

Abstract excerpt

Several empirical studies of sperm competition in populations polymorphic for a driving X chromosome have revealed that Sex-ratio males (those carrying a driving X) are at a disadvantage relative to Standard males. Because the frequency of the driving X chromosome determines the population-level sex ratio and thus alters male and female mating rates, the evolutionary consequences of sperm competition for sex...
