Maternal effect dominant embryonic arrest — (Medea) is a selfish gene composed of a toxin and an antidote. A mother carrying Medea will express the toxin in her germline, killing her progeny. If the children also carry Medea, they produce copies of the antidote, saving their lives.… … Wikipedia
zygotic-effect gene — A gene whose phenotype is dependent on the genotype of the zygote, rather than the genotype of the mother. See maternal effect gene … Dictionary of molecular biology
Maternal effect — This article concerns the legitimate scientific concept of genes that are expressed only when carried by the female parent. It is not to be confused with the generally discredited theory of maternal impression. A maternal effect is a situation… … Wikipedia
