English term or phrase: sex-lethal gene
Most mice did fine with this foreign sex-lethal gene, but in one strain 'sex-lethal' lived up to its name; all the mice died in infancy.

It's about molecular genetics, about a new way to look at DNA. Help would be greatly appreciated.

Vertaling (voor Ellen Singer):
Een op X chromosoom in Drosophila (een soort vlieg, zie www.paradoks.utwente.nl/Files/Samenvattingen/ Bouw%20en%20werking%20celbio.pdf) gevonden gen, dat is een geslachts schakelaar, die, eens aangezet, richt de ontwikkeling richting de vrouwelijke kant.
Zo is het sex-lethal gen geen moordenaar, want het kan geen vlieg doden.

dodelijk gen


Explanation:
lethal gene is dodelijk gen
Ik kan op het internet niets vinden met geslacht, sex o.i.d. maar uit de context lees ik voornamelijk dat het dodelijk is voor het ras of soort.

Succes,

Ellen
