1. Estimates of the frequency of male sterility vary [reviewed by J. M. M. van Damme, thesis, University of Groningen (1983)]. Most estimate the value at 3 to 4%, but one estimate is around 7% [ X. Delannay, Natur. Belg. 59, 223 (1978)].

10. We exclude those cases where an allele spreads due to a net beneficial effect on an individual, but that has deleterious pleiotropic effects in the same individual. For example, an allele that increases net fitness due to some effect in the kidney might also have a small deleterious effect on the liver. This provides the conditions for compensatory mutations (for example, those restricting expression to the kidney). This is different from sexual antagonism, where the deleterious effects occur in an individual separate from the one that has the fitness advantage. The important point is that liver and kidney cannot independently reproduce, but males and females can. We also restrict discussion of conflict to those cases where the spread of the harmful allele is deterministic.

12. Possibly the earliest recognition that everything within cells and organisms need not be for the common good was Darwin's realization that "gemmules," which he thought to be the heritable material, could compete for transmission [C. Darwin, The Descent of Man and Selection in Relation to Sex (John Murray, London, 1874)]. J. B. S. Haldane [The Causes of Evolution (Cornell Univ. Press, New York, 1932)] similarly argued that "a plant is at the mercy of its pollen." A mathematical formalization by D. Lewis (8) made explicit the fact that the invasion conditions for cytoplasmic induction of male sterility are much broader than those for nuclear allele induced male sterility.

62. Incidental harm may often hinder the spread of a deleterious allele, but this need not always be so. A mitochondrial allele highly deleterious in males, but beneficial in females, does not have its spread inhibited by its effects in males, because males never transmit it. The same allele if autosomal would, in contrast, have its spread hindered.

73. The reverse can also occur, that is, alleles good for females but bad for males can accumulate on chromosomes transmitted down the females line. This might explain why some mitochondrial disorders affect males more than females [S. A. Frank and L. D. Hurst, Nature 383, 224 (1996)]. X-linked genes spend two-thirds of their time in females and should also accumulate female-benefit genes at a higher rate than comparable autosomal sequences. Currently there is no evidence for this.

77. Ø. Winge [J. Genet. 18, 1 (1927)] reported that 17 of 18 phenotypically distinct traits appear to be closely linked to the male sex-determining locus. These traits, however, were defined genetically and it is unknown whether this represents an equivalent number of genes. Additionally, although some of the genes appear strictly Y-linked, some others recombine with the X and hence are present in females [ T. Yamamoto, in Handbook of Genetics, vol. 4 of Vertebrates of General Interest (Plenum, New York, 1975), pp. 133-149]. The lack of activity of these genes in the females is attributed to hormonally mediated sex-specific expression. The reason for linkage of these to the sex-determining locus is not understood. For additional evidence of Y-linkage, see A. E. Houde, Heredity 69, 229 (1992).

109. This theory explains why those species that never fuse cytoplasms, such as some basidiomycetes and ciliates, need not be restricted to two mating types and why, when cell fusion occurs between perfect relatives, organelle inheritance is biparental, as in somatic fusions in ascomycete fungi and acellular slime molds (57, 60). For competing explanations, see (113) and Y. Iwasa and A. Sasaki, Evolution 41, 49 (1987).
110. That many species' sperm carry large masses of cytoplasm not permitted into eggs [B. B.

114. That many species' sperm carry large masses of cytoplasm not permitted into eggs [B. B. Sears, Plasmid 4, 233 (1980)] is consistent with the notion that the small size of most sperm may in part be a defense against cytoplasmically transmitted agents [L. D. Hurst, J. Theor. Biol. 144, 429 (1990); I. M. Hastings, Genet. Res. 59, 215 (1992)]. See for alternative hypotheses (113); G. A. Parker, R. R. Baker, V. G. F. Smith, J. Theor. Biol. 36, 181 (1972); N. Knowlton, ibid. 46, 283 (1974).

121. For a nuclear male-sterilizing allele to spread, the increase in fitness of ovules must compensate for the lack of transmission through pollen (8). Typically this will mean that ovule fitness must be doubled. Because mitochondrial genomes are not transmitted through males lines, no transmission is lost through male sterility, hence the ovule fitness must simply increase (8). An increase in fitness of ovules might occur either because of the redirection of resources [see, for example, P. Poot, Am. J. Bot. 84, 1256 (1997)] or the prevention of inbreeding.

151. Female killing could be of advantage to the male only as a case of indiscriminate spite [N. Knowlton and G. A. Parker, Nature 279, 419 (1979)], where the male lowered his own fitness somewhat (by loss of progeny that would have been sired by his sperm in the female sperm storage organs and by the cost of producing the toxin) but lowered the fitness of other males more (by making the female unavailable to produce their offspring). However, the conditions for the evolution of indiscriminate spite are restrictive. It may be selectively neutral for a male if his toxic effects become apparent only after the female has ceased using his sperm [ T. Chapman, L. F. Liddle, J. M. Kalb, M. F. Wolfner, L. Partridge, ibid. 373, 241 (1995)].

157. It has been proposed [T. Moore, D. Haig, Trends Genet. 7, 45 (1991)] that if there is multiple paternity, paternally derived growth factors and maternally expressed antagonists should be expressed, while the maternally derived growth promoters and paternally derived antagonists should remain untranscribed.

159. It is possible to interpret some features of imprinting as consistent with the expectations of the conflict theory. However (100), the conflict theory is not obviously consistent with the findings (i) that in mice and humans the majority of paternal uniparental disomies are growth retarded [L. D. Hurst and G. T. McVean, Trends Genet. 13, 436 (1997)], (ii) that a significant number of imprinting effects occur after the termination of weaning, (iii) that imprinted genes are not rapidly evolving (108), and (iv) that Arabidopsis, an obligately self fertilizing plant, has imprinting. However, post-hoc explanations can be provided to explain these peculiarities and so the case has yet to be resolved.
