I was just wondering, does anyone know how a gene is turned off in the Black Queen Hypothesis?
My suspicion is that the trigger for that piece of DNA is turned off, perhaps through the release of some hormone? This is just a guesss with what knowledge I have on the topic.
Here is an article on the Black Queen Hypothesis, for those who do not know what it is:
