Increase in viability due to the accumulation of X chromosome mutations in Drosophila melanogaster males.
Genetica 2018 May 10
To increase our understanding of the role of new X-chromosome mutations in adaptive evolution, single-X Drosophila melanogaster males were mated with attached-X chromosome females, allowing the male X chromosome to accumulate mutations over 28 generations. Contrary to our hypothesis that male viability would decrease over time, due to the accumulation and expression of X-linked recessive deleterious mutations in hemizygous males, viability significantly increased. This increase may be attributed to germinal selection and to new X-linked beneficial or compensatory mutations, possibly supporting the faster-X hypothesis.
