Evolution of the segregation ratio: modification of gene conversion and meiotic drive.

Theoretical population biology - 1 Oct 1990

Bengtsson B O, Uyenoyama M K

Abstract excerpt

We compare the evolutionary pressures that direct the modification of gene conversion and meiotic drive at loci subject to purifying and overdominant viability selection. Gene conversion differs from meiotic drive in that modifers do not affect their own segregation ratios, even when linked to the viability locus. Segregation distortion generates gametic level disequilibria between alleles at the viability locus...
