概括
研究了Drosophila求爱歌曲中的遗传差异. 歌曲节奏是由与性别相关的基因控制的,而脉冲间隔是自体的,混合雌性更喜欢中间歌曲.

- * 进化遗传学的进化遗传学
- * 动物行为
- * 德洛索菲拉的物种化
背景情况:
- *求婚歌曲对于识别多虫物种和繁殖隔离至关重要.
- * 像Drosophila melanogaster和Drosophila simulans这样的密切相关物种之间的求爱歌曲存在显著差异.
- * 了解这些歌曲差异的遗传基础是理解物种化的关键.
研究的目的:
- * 为了研究Drosophila melanogaster和Drosophila simulans之间的求爱歌曲分歧的遗传控制.
- * 确定特定歌曲特征 (节奏和脉冲间隔) 的继承模式.
- * 评估杂交歌曲特征对雌性交配偏好的行为意义.
主要方法:
- * 在Drosophila melanogaster和Drosophila simulans之间产生相互混合物.
- *对亲属物种和杂交物种的求爱歌曲参数的分析.
- *使用具有不同声学特性的人工生成歌曲进行行为分析.
主要成果:
- *两种物种之间的歌曲节奏差异主要由与性别相关的基因控制.
- * 基本脉冲间隔的变化是通过自身基因遗传的.

Position-effect Variegation
In 1928, a German botanist Emil Heitz observed the moss nuclei with a DNA binding dye. He observed that while some chromatin regions decondense and spread out in the interphase nucleus, others do not. He termed them euchromatin and heterochromatin, respectively. He proposed that the heterochromatin regions reflect a functionally inactive state of the genome. It was later confirmed that heterochromatin is transcriptionally repressed, and euchromatin is transcriptionally active chromatin.
The Ratio of X Chromosome to Autosomes
In most organisms, sex is determined by the ratio of X and Y chromosomes. However, in some organisms, such as Drosophila and C.elegans, sex is determined by the ratio of the number of X chromosomes to the number of sets of autosomes. The Y chromosome in Drosophila is active but does not determine sex. It contains genes responsible for the production of sperms in adult flies.
Normal male Drosophila has a ratio of one X chromosome to two sets of autosomes. In contrast, normal female Drosophila...
