Elevated rates of nondisjunction in a selfish X chromosome that causes female meiotic drive in Drosophila testacea.

Heredity - 1 Aug 2026

Clark Michael W, Perlman Steve J

Abstract excerpt

Meiotic drivers are selfish genetic elements that manipulate the process of meiosis to increase their transmission, circumventing Mendel's Law of equal segregation. Because meiosis fundamentally differs between the sexes, meiotic drivers use different mechanisms and strategies in male and female meiosis. Only one out of the four products of female meiosis can participate in fertilization, so female meiotic...
