The review deals with features of sex determination in vertebrates. The mechanisms of sex determination are compared between fishes, amphibians, reptilians, birds, and mammals. We focus on structural and functional differences in the role of sex-determining genes in different vertebrates. Special attention is paid to the role of estrogens in sex determination in nonmammalian vertebrates.
这篇综述探讨了脊椎动物性别决定的特征。比较了鱼类、两栖类、爬行类、鸟类和哺乳类动物的性别决定机制。我们着重研究不同脊椎动物中性别决定基因作用的结构和功能差异。特别关注雌激素在非哺乳类脊椎动物性别决定中的作用。
