NEUROSPORA. "Female-biased genes also had a greater portion of sites that experienced positive selection and showed stronger signals of selective sweeps than male-biased genes, suggesting that the rapid evolution is at least partly driven by adaptive evolution." https://lnkd.in/eUbE-is View in LinkedIn

NEUROSPORA RARE FEMALE ACCELERATION. "Our data showed that N. crassa comprises a rare example of an organism where female-biased genes evolve rapidly; they exhibited faster evolution at the protein level and reduced optimal codon usage compared with male-biased genes, sexually unbiased genes, and vegetative genes." https://lnkd.in/eUbE-is View in LinkedIn

UNEQUAL EVOLUTION. "Sex differences in expression have been connected to gene divergence in numerous eukaryotes. For instance, genes with enriched transcription in males, commonly referred to as male-biased genes, typically evolve more rapidly at the protein level than female-biased or unbiased genes." https://lnkd.in/eUbE-is View in LinkedIn

GENETIC ORIGINS. "Sex differences in transcription have been linked to molecular evolution: genes with higher expression in male compared with female sexual tissues (i.e., male-biased genes) have been associated with rapid gene divergence in various animals and plants, implying that selective differences exist among the sexual structures." https://lnkd.in/eUbE-is View in LinkedIn

NEUROSPORA UNEQUAL EXPRESSION. "Differential gene expression is believed to largely explain sexually dichotomous phenotypes. This phenomenon is especially significant in hermaphrodites, in which male and female sexual tissues have identical genotypes." https://lnkd.in/eUbE-is View in LinkedIn

CASE STUDY 2. HERMAPHRODITE FUNGUS NEUROSPORA CRASSA serves to illustrate a second case of reproductive flexibility. View in LinkedIn

CURIOUS CASE. "Sexual organisms produce haploid gametes derived from meiosis. Fertilization of the egg by the sperm restores the chromosome number to that of the somatic cells. However, certain factors can lead to the formation of unreduced gametes, in which the genetic material is identical to that of somatic cells, in some cases specifically in females." https://lnkd.in/eWhHmsj View in LinkedIn

INCOMPLETE PROCESS. "Whole genome duplication is considered to be a significant contributor to angiosperm speciation due to accumulation of rapid, strong interploid reproductive isolation. However, recent work suggests that interploid reproductive isolation may not be complete, especially among higher order cytotypes." https://lnkd.in/eyABWAW View in LinkedIn

ALTERNATION OF GENERATIONS. "Plants have a more complex life cycle than animals, alternating between two heteromorphic generations: the sporophyte and the gametophyte. In the diploid sporophyte, distinct cells undergo meiosis and produce haploid spores. These give rise to multicellular haploid gametophytes, which produce gametes through mitotic divisions."
