Abstract
The belief that all snakes possess ZW sex chromosomes has prevailed for decades, despite no evidence of this in boas, pythons, and their relatives. A recent discovery of male-specific genetic markers reveals that these snakes instead possess XY sex chromosomes.
摘要
尽管在蟒和蚺及其亲属中没有证据表明这一点，但几十年来，所有蛇类都具有 ZW 性染色体的观点一直占主导地位。最近发现的雄性特异性遗传标记表明，这些蛇类实际上具有 XY 性染色体。
