Figure 3.
Sex-linkage in a family (A038) with B chromosomes. The allele sizes of two microsatellite markers (UNH2086 and UNH2031) known to be tightly linked with the LG7 XY sex determination system46 are shown. The parental haplotypes are shown above those of the offspring. The haplotypes inherited from the mother (dam) are shown in light and dark pink while the haplotypes inherited from the father (sire) are shown in light and dark blue. Among NoB progeny, sex is linked to this region, as evidenced by all NoB female progeny having inherited one paternal haplotype (light blue) and all NoB male progeny having inherited the other haplotype (dark blue). However, this linkage does not exist in the progeny with a B chromosome. Please note, only NoB individuals of the family for which sex and genotype data was obtained or B individuals for which genotype data was obtained are included in this figure. NoB individuals missing one or both of these data types, and B individuals missing genotype data were excluded.
