Abstract
All females of Polypedilum nubifer have been found to be heterozygous for a heterochromatic end in chromosome IV, while most males are homozygous for its absence. This would indicate that there has been a conversion from male heterogamety to female heterogamety which may not yet be completely established.This publication has 2 references indexed in Scilit:
