MODIFIED TRAITS. "We show that the experimental evolution of improved hermaphrodite self-fertility occurred through complex modification of a suite of developmental and reproductive traits: increased sperm production, accelerated oogenesis and ovulation rates, and increased embryo retention in utero." https://lnkd.in/gdtTpDJ View in LinkedIn

UNREDUCED GAMETES. "This phenomenon is important and widespread across numerous eukaryotic taxa, including yeasts, plants, insects, amphibians, reptiles, and fish. Unreduced gametes with somatic chromosome numbers represent a special germplasm in facilitating speciation and the production of new polyploid species." https://lnkd.in/eWhHmsj View in LinkedIn

NEUROSPORA FEMALE-FEMALE COMPETITION. "The concept that female–female competition drives rapid evolution of female-biased implies some degree of overlap between unmated female tissues studied herein and those exposed to conidia." https://lnkd.in/eUbE-is 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."

PLOIDY FROM MALFUNCTION. "Speciation and diversification of plants has been attributed, in part, due to polyploidy otherwise known as whole-genome duplications (WGD). Changes in ploidy can result from aberrations in meiotic or mitotic processes, which includes whole genome duplications." https://lnkd.in/etn6Uea View in LinkedIn
