Sexual conflict via maternal-effect genes in ZW species.

Science (New York, N.Y.) - 7 Apr 2006

Miller Paige M, Gavrilets Sergey, Rice William R

Abstract excerpt

In female heterogamous (ZW) species, sex-linked genes coding for maternal products that are packaged into the egg open a unique arena for genetic conflict that does not occur in male heterogamous (XY) species. Z-linked maternal-effect alleles that help sons and harm daughters are expected to go to fixation, as are W-linked alleles that help daughters and harm sons. This conflict differs from known cases of...
