Sequences of alleles of the honey bee's primary sex-determining gene have extremely high diversity, with many amino acid variants, suggesting that different alleles of this gene have been maintained in populations for very long evolutionary times.
蜜蜂主要性别决定基因的等位基因序列具有极高的多样性,存在许多氨基酸变体,这表明该基因的不同等位基因在种群中已经维持了非常长的进化时间。
