| has gloss | eng: A maternal effect is a situation where the phenotype of an organism is determined not only by the environment it experiences and its genotype, but also by the environment and phenotype of its mother. In genetics, maternal effects occur when an organism shows the phenotype expected from the genotype of the mother, irrespective of its own genotype, often due to the mother supplying mRNA or proteins to the egg. Maternal effects can also be caused by the maternal environment independent of genotype, sometimes controlling the size, sex, or behaviour of the offspring. It has been proposed that maternal effects are important for the evolution of adaptive responses to environmental heterogeneity. |

| has gloss | rus: Материнский эффект — явление в генетике, при котором фенотип потомка определяется исключительно генами матери. Обычно фенотип потомства определяется и генами матери, и генами отца. Чаще всего данный термин используют в отношении генов материнского эффекта, которые экспрессируются в яйцеклетке и оказывают влияние на развитие зиготы. |
