Manipulation of Drosophila melanogaster genomes allows large numbers of genes to be transmitted solely through males, thereby allowing selection to optimize flies for male function alone. It seems biasing phenotypes toward the male optima has serious fitness costs for females.
对黑腹果蝇基因组的操控使得大量基因仅通过雄性传递,从而使选择仅针对雄性功能来优化果蝇。似乎使表型偏向雄性最优状态会给雌性带来严重的适合度代价。
