| Title | A High Frequency Mutation Starts Sexual Reproduction in Volvox carteri  | ||
| Abstract | Pheromone-initiated sexual reproduction of Volvox carteri f. nagariensis is started by a "spontaneous" generation of sexual male spheroids at a rate of 10~4. As previously suggested, these males are mutants (5e.vc) which become independent of pheromone-controlled sex-induction. Unequivocal evidence for a mutative event now comes from the observation that the sex0 trait is transmitted through cell lineages during embryogenesis, thus confirming earlier | ||
