Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the evolutionary biology of spermatogenesis - the creation of mature sperm cells through a complex and critical biological process - with a focus on the accessory chromosome. The accessory chromosome, discovered in insects at the beginning of the 20th century, has since been debated as a potential 'sex determinant' in species. Through observation of insects and other invertebrates, the author carefully examines the data around the accessory chromosome to ascertain whether it, and similar 'heterochromosomes', do indeed determine sex in all species they exist within, or if they play a different or no role in sexual development. The author discusses the history of the discovery of the chromosome, its prevalence across insects, and its behaviour during the maturation process, providing both a review of the current body of knowledge, and opening up new avenues of research and inquiry into its function in the evolution of homologous genetic systems in insects and other animals. This book is an essential tool for researchers in the fields of genetics, molecular biology and evolutionary biology, and will be of interest to entomologists, zoologists, and cell biologists. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.…
