The pattern of inheritance indicates that the gene for aconitase-1 is sex linked in the frog. Rana clamitans, and that the male is the heterogametic sex. Unlike mammals, both male and female frogs carry and express two alleles for this sex-linked gene. Therefore, the sex chromosomes in these frogs and probably others behave like an autosomal pair, with one homologue carrying a male-determining element.
遗传模式表明,在蛙类绿蛙中,乌头酸酶-1基因是性连锁的,且雄性是异配性别。与哺乳动物不同,雄性和雌性蛙类都携带并表达这个性连锁基因的两个等位基因。因此,这些蛙类以及可能其他蛙类的性染色体表现得像一对常染色体,其中一条同源染色体携带雄性决定元件。
