Paternal inheritance in parthenogenetic forms of the planarian Schmidtea polychroa.

Heredity - 1 Aug 2006

D'Souza T G, Schulte R D, Schulenburg H, Michiels N K

Abstract excerpt

Parthenogenesis usually includes clonal inheritance, which is thought to increase the risk of the clonal populations' extinction. Yet many parthenogenetic organisms appear to have survived for extended periods. A possible explanation is that parthenogens occasionally reproduce through sex-like processes. Although there is indirect evidence for occasional sex, the underlying mechanisms are currently unknown. In...
