过去二十年的研究表明,许多阔鼻猴(新大陆猴)具有多态性色觉。这种情况的结果从一个单一的基因位点的X染色体视锥视蛋白基因的等位基因版本的排序,产生的二色和三色表型的人口的混合物。已知有两个属的阔鼻猴明显偏离了这种模式。对所有这些猴子的色觉、色觉和色觉基因的研究激发了人们对灵长类动物色觉进化的新兴趣。(C)1998爱思唯尔科技有限公司版权所有。
Studies carried out over the past two decades show that many platyrrhine (New World) monkeys have polymorphic color vision. This condition results from the sorting of allelic versions of X-chromosome cone opsin genes at a single gene site, yielding a mixture of dichromatic and trichromatic phenotypes in the population. Two genera of platyrrhine monkey are known to deviate significantly from this pattern. Examination of color vision, photopigments, and photopigment genes of all of these monkeys have stimulated a renewed interest in understanding the evolution of primate color vision.
