Haldane's rule, which states that the heterogametic sex (XY or ZW females) fares more poorly in interspecific hybrids, is generally attributed to absence of one of the two species' X/Z chromosomes. However, Haldane's rule is also observed in mouse placentas despite paternal X silencing. This pattern could reflect Y chromosomes having evolved to promote growth due to maternal-paternal conflict. If so, balanced sex investment arises from a complex intra- and intergenomic duel.
哈代定律指出,在种间杂种中,异型性别的个体(XY 或 ZW 雌性)表现较差,这通常归因于两种物种的 X/Z 染色体之一的缺失。然而,尽管存在父本 X 染色体失活,哈代定律也在小鼠胎盘组织中观察到。这种模式可能反映了 Y 染色体的进化是为了促进生长,因为存在母本-父本冲突。如果是这样,平衡的性别投资源于复杂的种内和种间基因组决斗。
