The primary sex chromosomes are homomorphic in both sexes and often undergo heteromorphism in either sex (XY in males or ZW in females) in association with chromosome rearrangements such as inversion, which creates a non-recombining region, called a stratum. Then, multiple strata may form by sequential inversions and extend the non-recombining region, where gene divergence accelerates, and degeneration of the Y or W chromosome progressively occurs.Summary: Contrast to the conventional theory, we propose a shortcut in heteromorphic sex chromosome evolution, where an autosomal pair directly evolves into a heteromorphic sex chromosome pair. We illustrate this with two frog cases where Y chromosome or autosome, which is morphologically inverted, was introgressed from another species through interspecific hybridization, instantly forming a new heteromorphic sex chromosome pair. This event resulted in a distinct non-recombining region immediately after hybridization.Key messages: The introduction of an inverted chromosome from a different species may be associated with benefits in morphology, breeding behavior, hybrid viability, sex determination, and recovery of the sex ratio of the hybrids. We discuss the molecular mechanisms driving preferential mutations in the introduced, inverted chromosome through interspecific hybridization.","PeriodicalId":49536,"journal":{"name":"Sexual Development","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2024-11-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142631189","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
