Evolution of sex and mating loci: an expanded view from Volvocine algae.

Current opinion in microbiology - 1 Dec 2011

Umen James G

Abstract excerpt

Sexual reproduction in Volvocine algae coevolved with the acquisition of multicellularity. Unicellular genera such as Chlamydomonas and small colonial genera from this group have classical mating types with equal-sized gametes, while larger multicellular genera such as Volvox have differentiated males and females that produce sperm and eggs respectively. Newly available sequence from the Volvox and Chlamydomonas...
