Genetic background alters dominance relationships between mat alleles in the ciliate Tetrahymena thermophila.

The Journal of heredity - 1 Jan 2000

Phadke Sujal S, Paixão Tiago, Pham Tuan, Pham Stephanie, Zufall Rebecca A

Abstract excerpt

The pattern of inheritance and mechanism of sex determination can have important evolutionary consequences. We studied probabilistic sex determination in the ciliate Tetrahymena thermophila, which was previously shown to cause evolution of skewed sex ratios. We find that the genetic background alters the sex determination patterns of mat alleles in heterozygotes and that allelic interaction can differentially...
