Hypothesized model of allele transmission. The mother transmits her maternally inherited alleles (white circle) exclusively to her daughters and the paternally inherited alleles (black circle) to her sons. This sex-specific transmission could arise either from strong postzygotic selection eliminating incompatible genotypes or prezygotic segregation of alleles into female-forming and male-forming gametes.
