Abstract excerpt
When different alleles are favored in different environments, dominance reversal where alternate alleles are dominant in the environment in which they are favored can generate net balancing selection. The sexes represent two distinct genetic environments and sexually antagonistic (SA) selection can maintain genetic variation, especially when the alleles involved show sex-specific dominance. Sexual dimorphism in...
