Change of genetic architecture in response to sex.
Genetics - 1 May 1996
Deng H W, Lynch M
Abstract excerpt
A traditional view is that sexual reproduction increases the potential for phenotypic evolution by expanding the range of genetic variation upon which natural selection can act. However, when nonadditive genetic effects and genetic disequilibria underlie a genetic system, genetic slippage (a change in the mean genotypic value contrary to that promoted by selection) in response to sex may occur. Additionally,...
