Document Summary
Cooperation and conflict part 2 outcomes, how mating system affects intensity of parent-offspring conflict. Monogamous species: not as closely related to future offspring that mother produces than to yourself but still related (full siblings, high degree of relatedness, greedy but not as demanding for maternal resources. In a promiscuous system, sexual conflict will be more intense, as future offspring will be. Closely related to future off spring they will inherit those alleles as well: allele inherited from dad: extract as much resources as possible from this female. No interest in mother being able to produce more off spring in the future because that dad isn"t going to re-mate with mom. Forget any future offspring, won"t help paternal allele anyway : why the interests of uniparentally transmitted genomes can differ from those of biparentally transmitted genomes. Non-nuclear genomes, like genome in mitochondria, dna within chloroplasts.
