Are asymmetric inheritance systems an evolutionary trap? Transitions in the mechanism of genome loss in the scale insect family Eriococcidae
2022-06-26
Abstract excerpt
Haplodiploidy and paternal genome elimination (PGE) are examples of asymmetric inheritance, where males transmit only maternally inherited chromosomes to their offspring. Under haplodiploidy this results from males being haploid, whereas under PGE males inherit but subsequently eliminate paternally inherited chromosomes during meiosis. Their evolution involves changes in the mechanisms of meiosis and sex determina...
