Segregation distortion and the evolution of sex-determining mechanisms.

Heredity - 1 Jan 2010

Kozielska M, Weissing F J, Beukeboom L W, Pen I

Abstract excerpt

Segregation distorters are alleles that distort normal segregation in their own favour. Sex chromosomal distorters lead to biased sex ratios, and the presence of such distorters, therefore, may induce selection for a change in the mechanism of sex determination. The evolutionary dynamics of distorter-induced changes in sex determination has only been studied in some specific systems. Here, we present a generic...
