text:
Pseudo-arrhenotoky or paternal genome elimination is the phenomenon where males develop from fertilized eggs but the paternal genome is heterochromatinized or lost in the somatic cells and not passed on to their offspring. This phenomenon occurs in certain mites, beetles and mealybugs and scale insects. When the males have a diploid number of chromosomes they are termed parahaploids as the paternal genes are not expressed at all. The paternal chromosomes are inactivated by heterochromatization i
