Cytological investigation of the mechanism of parthenogenesis in Drosophila mercatorum.

Fly - 1 Jan 2000

Eisman Robert, Kaufman Thomas C

Abstract excerpt

Thelytokous parthenogenesis (female progeny only) in animals is believed to arise initially in unfertilized eggs produced by bisexual females via the fusion of two haploid nuclei following meiosis, to produce diploid female progeny. The transition from sexual to parthenogenetic mechanisms of reproduction requires that the egg replace the paternal contributions of a haploid genetic complement and the basal body,...
