Abstract excerpt
In Paramecium tetraurelia, mating type is determined during the differentiation of the somatic macronucleus from a zygotic nucleus genetically competent for both types, O and E. Determination of the developing macronucleus is controlled by the parental macronucleus through an unknown mechanism resulting in the maternal inheritance of mating types. The pleiotropic mutation mtFE affects macronuclear...
