Sex-ratio meiotic drive in Drosophila simulans: cellular mechanism, candidate genes and evolution.

Biochemical Society transactions - 1 Aug 2006

Montchamp-Moreau C

Abstract excerpt

The sex-ratio trait, reported in a dozen Drosophila species, is a type of naturally occurring meiotic drive in which the driving elements are located on the X chromosome. Typically, as the result of a shortage of Y-bearing spermatozoa, males carrying a sex-ratio X chromosome produce a large excess of female offspring. The presence of sex-ratio chromosomes in a species can have considerable evolutionary...
