Paternal Cytoplasmic Inheritance
We continue our study of the effects of pollen and seed migration on the cytonuclear structure of mixed-mating plant populations by analyzing two deterministic continent-island models under the critical assumption of paternal cytoplasmic inheritance. The major results of this study that contrast with our previous conclusions based on maternal cytoplasmic inheritance are (i) pollen gene flow can...
متن کاملPaternal inheritance of the primary sex ratio in a copepod.
Uniparentally inherited genetic elements are under strong selection to manipulate sex determination in their host and shift the host sex ratio towards the transmitting sex. For any sex-ratio trait, lineage analysis and quantitative genetics are important tools for characterizing the mode of inheritance (biparental vs. maternal vs. paternal) thereby narrowing the field of possible sex-determinin...
متن کاملMitochondrial Steve: paternal inheritance of mitochondria in humans
Mitochondrial DNA is the primary tool in the investigation of recent evolutionary history, particularly for uncovering human origins and expansion. Maternal inheritance of mitochondria enables models of population history to be much simpler that those needed for the analysis of nuclear DNA. The recent report of a man with his father’s mitochondria suggests a rethink of mitochondrial evolutionar...
متن کاملInheritance of DNA Methylation in Plant Genome
Genomic DNA contains not only information of DNA sequence, but also epigenetic information that is the direct DNA modification by methylation (the addition of methyl group to the 5th carbon of pyrimidine ring of cytosine) and histone modifications (acetylation, methylation, etc). Epigenetic information is closely related to regulation of gene expression. If a methyl group is dislocated to posit...
متن کاملPaternal inheritance of growth in fish pursuing alternative reproductive tactics
In species with indeterminate growth, age-related size variation of reproductive competitors within each sex is often high. This selects for divergence in reproductive tactics of same-sex competitors, particularly in males. Where alternative tactics are fixed for life, the causality of tactic choice is often unclear. In the African cichlid Lamprologus callipterus, large nest males collect and p...
