Centromere-associated female meiotic drive entails male fitness costs in monkeyflowers.

Science (New York, N.Y.) - 5 Dec 2008

Fishman Lila, Saunders Arpiar

Abstract excerpt

Female meiotic drive, in which paired chromosomes compete for access to the egg, is a potentially powerful but rarely documented evolutionary force. In interspecific monkeyflower (Mimulus) hybrids, a driving M. guttatus allele (D) exhibits a 98:2 transmission advantage via female meiosis. We show...
