Fig. 3From: Is premeiotic genome elimination an exclusive mechanism for hemiclonal reproduction in hybrid males of the genus Pelophylax?Schema of hybridogenesis assumed for maintenance of diploid hybrid male M2 (this study) in mixed populations with P. ridibundus. a elimination of the P. ridibundus genome (red); b reduplication of the P. lessonae genome (green). As a result haploid P. lessonae gametes are produced. The vertical solid arrow shows spermatogonia, the dashed arrow spermatocytes. Meiotic cycle starts after b Back to article page
