dosis effect
may occur in Z-linked inheritance
- lead to different characteristics in the two sexes
different colors in homo/heterozygote
due to dose effect in genteically homozygotus lines from hatching to adult age
Autosexing character:
homo- and heterogametic sexes are different in colour due to dosage effect in genetically pure (homozygotus) from hatching to adult age
Where may the dose effect occur?
In Z-linked inheritance
What are different characteristics in the two sexes at birth/hatching due to?
Dose effect
Auto sexing genes:
Pigmentation inhibitor genes, Barring in chickens, Grey feathers of geese
Pigmentation inhibitor genes
in Texan and King Pigeons; Homogametic males are lighter
Barring in chickens
a type of coloring
BB, B-; Homogametic males are lighter
Grey feathers of geese
sd, sdsd; Homogametic males are lighter/darker???; “white” pilgrim goose
What must it be distinguished from?
Sexual dimorphism = obvious phenotypic differences between sexes
