An empirical test of the meiotic drive models of hybrid sterility: sex-ratio data from hybrids between Drosophila simulans and Drosophila sechellia.

Genetics - 1 Mar 1992

Johnson N A, Wu C I

Abstract excerpt

Recently, there has been much discussion regarding the hypothesis that divergence of meiotic drive systems in isolated populations can generate the patterns of reproductive isolation observed in animal hybridizations. One prediction from this hypothesis is that the sex ratio of hybrids with heterospecific sex chromosomes should greatly deviate from the Mendelian expectation of 50% female. From sex-ratio data in...
