Fecha de publicación: | 2014 | Editor: | S. Karger AG | Citación: | Sex Development 8:83-103 (2014) | Resumen: | As a rule, the sex of an individual is fixed at fertilisation, being the chromosomal constitution of the zygote a direct consequence of the chromosomal constitution of the gametes. However, there are cases in which the chromosomal differences determining sex are brought about by elimination or inactivation of chromosomes in the embryo. In Sciaridae insects, all zygotes start with the XXX constitution; the loss of either one or two X chromosomes determines whether the zygote becomes XX (female) or X0 (male). In Cecydomyiidae and Collembola insects, all zygotes start with the XXXX constitution. If the embryo does not eliminate any X chromosome, this remains XXXX and develops as female, whereas if two X chromosomes are eliminated, the embryo becomes XX0 and develops as male. In the coccids (scale insects), the chromosomal differences between the sexes result from either the elimination or the heterochromatisation (inactivation) of half of the chromosomes giving rise to haploid males and diploid females. The chromosomes that are eliminated or inactivated are those inherited from the father. Therefore, in the formation of the sex-determining chromosomal signal in those insects, a marking (“imprinting”) process must occur in one of the parents, which determines that the chromosomes to be eliminated or inactivated are of paternal origin. In this article, the sex determination mechanism of these insects and the associated imprinting process are reviewed | Versión del editor: | http://dx.doi.org/10.1159/000356709 | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/10261/96384 | DOI: | 10.1159/000356709 | ISSN: | 1661-5425 | E-ISSN: | 1661-5433 |
