It is proposed that Moraba virgo, the only all-female grasshopper, originated by hybridisation between two extant species P169 and P196. Such an origin accounts for M. virgo's peculiar karyotype and pattern of late replication. The model is predictive and experiments are suggested to test it.
有人提出,唯一的全雌性蚱蜢——处女座莫拉巴蚱蜢(Moraba virgo)起源于两个现存物种P169和P196之间的杂交。这样的起源解释了处女座莫拉巴蚱蜢独特的核型和晚复制模式。该模型具有预测性,并建议进行实验来验证它。
