Compared to males, development of mixed cholesterol GS was significantly common among females (χ test, df = 1, p = 0.029).
Across both host plant treatment groups, females had higher wing loading than males, development on drought-stressed plants significantly reduced wing loading in females, but not in males (Fig. 4).
Empirical studies have shown two types of CI to exist in haplodiploid insects where CI-affected offspring either die (female mortality, FM) or develop as males (male development, MD; [43]).
If you're lucky and you're talented as a man, you can go through every single male development stage.
For example Phthalates, compounds found in everything from shampoo to vinyl flooring and flexible medical tubing, disrupt male development turning boys into girls.
But the gene responsible for activating male development is surprisingly unstable, leaving the pathway to male sexuality fraught with inconsistency, a study finds.
Our results suggest that male development is robust to subtle alterations in SRY-DNA architecture but depends critically on nuclear localization.
Traditional romances and sex farces were supplanted by comedies of arrested male development, defensive glorifications of the right of boys to be boys, occasionally informed by the serious question of what it might mean to be a man.
Derrick M. Gordon, Ph.D., Assistant Professor of Psychiatry (Psychology), Yale University School of Medicine, is the Director of the Program on Male Development at The Consultation Center, and on the faculty in the Community Research Core of the Center for Interdisciplinary Research on AIDS (CIRA).
An M-locus gene is necessary and sufficient for male development in the mosquito that transmits dengue and yellow fever.
In humans, the Y chromosome makes men, men, or so researchers have thought: It contains genes that are responsible for sex determination, male development, and male fertility.
