Sentences with phrase «gambiae complex»

While the Anopheline Y had previously been implicated in male mating behavior, recent data from the Anopheles gambiae complex suggests that, apart from the putative primary sex - determiner, no other genes are conserved on the Y. Studying the functional basis of the evolutionary divergence of the Y chromosome in the gambiae complex is complicated by complete F1 male hybrid sterility.

Therefore, Y chromosome gene flow between members of the gambiae complex is possible even at their current level of divergence.

Eight species known as the Anopheles gambiae complex of mosquitoes in Africa became separate species less than 5 million years ago, and they sometimes still interbreed, producing fertile hybrids.
