In the video, she said that there would probably never be a mammal discovered that can complete parthenogenesis, but then the explanation clearly stated that this was why placental mammals specifically couldn't do parthenogenesis. Does this mean that marsupials or monotremes could possibly complete parthenogenesis, or is there a different explanation for that being impossible?

Indeed, the astute worker bees possess a remarkable ability to discern between diploid and haploid males. Let’s explore this fascinating phenomenon: Distinct Characteristics: Diploid males exhibit certain distinctive features that set them apart from haploid males (drones): Size: Diploid males are larger than haploid males. Eye Color: Their eyes are darker due to the presence of additional genetic material. Antennae: Diploid males have shorter antennae compared to drones. Behavior: They often display abnormal behavior, such as being less active or less responsive. Worker Bee Behavior: When worker bees encounter a diploid male larva in the brood cell, they assess its characteristics. If it exhibits the telltale signs of being diploid, they take decisive action. Elimination Process: Worker bees promptly remove the diploid male larva from the brood cell. They may consume it or discard it outside the hive. This process ensures that valuable resources are not wasted on non-functional males. Colony Optimization: Worker bees prioritize the overall health and efficiency of the colony. By eliminating diploid males, they maintain a balanced sex ratio and conserve resources. In summary, the worker bees’ ability to recognize and selectively eliminate diploid males demonstrates their adaptive intelligence and commitment to the colony’s well-being. 🐝🔍🚀 For further exploration, you can delve into the intricate world of honeybee biology.

I just spent all morning researching the self-cloning (parthenogenesis) Marbled Crayfish to win an argument with my brother… then this pops up. The argument? That these were the crayfish we used to catch in West GA back in the ‘80s and early ‘90s. Had to show that they aren’t yet pervasive except in the streams they’ve been introduced to by humans since being discovered 1995. Obviously, they could exist naturally in one stream somewhere if their origin was not in captivity but it’s not likely to be that one.

Haven't done much research into it, but I have read some of the overviews written about it: correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't it linked back to the German pet trade? If so, then they had to get the animals from somewhere, and I'd assume that they were just caught and imported from the US.

@@abtinbarzin8369 A German discovered them after buying “Texas Crayfish” from an American pet dealer and noticing the parthenogenesis in 1995. They weren’t even named until 2003. It very well may have come from a wild-caught population somewhere but they would have been isolated, not pervasive, and the distribution map does not even include West GA, meaning the odds that we had them as kids were very low. Because they can’t easily get from one waterway to another disconnected one, all known wild populations were introduced there by people. That said, I recall a pet shop in town that had a pregnant crayfish (eggs/young under tail). My twin brother and I were literally saving money for it when we found out there were free crayfish in the woods right behind us. :) Most were small but a few were almost lobster-sized! Before you knew it, all of our aquariums had wild-caught crayfish of all sizes… and I never saw a single adult with young. We put that money toward our saving for some Red Eared Sliders (turtles) and by the time we had enough Georgia had made it illegal to sell them due to the possibility of carrying Salmonella.

I think we need to distinguish between clonal parthenogenesis and consanguinous parthenogenesis. In the case of cloning there isn't really genetic information lost at the individual level or multiplication of deleterious alleles within an individual. In the case of consanguinity, then it is almost maximally bad from the standpoint of deleterious recessives.

The word "Parthenon" originates from ancient Greek and is derived from the Greek word Parthenṓn, which means "virgin's apartment" or "maiden's quarters." The Parthenon is a famous ancient temple located on the Athenian Acropolis in Greece, dedicated to the goddess Athena, whom the Greeks often referred to as "Parthenos" (meaning "virgin" or "maiden"). The connection between the Parthenon and the concept of virginity stems from its association with the goddess Athena, who was regarded as a virgin deity. The temple served as a monumental shrine to Athena Parthenos, embodying her role as a maiden goddess and symbolizing her purity and wisdom.

There is only the two monotremes, the echidna and the platypus, and they get their freak on in the standard manner. Well kind of, the male echidna has a 4 headed penis and the male platypus has a 2 headed penis and barbs along the penis so he can stay inside the female whilst mating in the water. The platypus courtship is amazing to see, they play in the water in sync with each other, yet not touching until the female is ready. Then it's 10 minutes of nooky time and afterwards she ignores him and heads off to her burrow in the bank, whilst he has a rest before heading off to start courting another female for a couple of weeks before he gets another 10 minutes of happy time. Both are amazing, and beautiful. I'm fortunate to live close to a creek that is home to a few platypus and water rats and other native wildlife.

@DJFracus

11 күн бұрын

Male bees do not use meiosis to make sperm because they are normally haploid, so they just give their entire chromosomes instead. So if a diploid male mated with a queen it would result in triploid females. Being triploid doesn't work for meiosis and would result in sterile queens. I think it also makes the effects of inbreeding worse, and diploid males are already a symptom of inbreeding, more inbreeding = higher chance of diploid males since it's likelier you get two copies of the same single allele out of the ~15 sex-determining gene alleles, which is what results in a diploid male.

The fact that the parthenotes seem to be consistently sickly (in non-obligately parthenogenic) vertebrates is really interesting. Why would reshuffling the mom's genes result in that high of a chance of sickness? And that many KINDS of sickness? If the young aren't viable long-term, why would these animals waste so much energy making parthenotes? In addition, this issue strikes me as somewhat similar to the issues seen with clones. In short, is there something that parthenogenesis and cloning lack that sex has? (Edit: I mean, does sex do something on the cell/gene level that cloning and parthenogenesis don't have? More than just having additional gene-options)

@Appletank8

Sex evolutionary is a way to shuffle up genes, and reduce the chances of bad, hopefully recessive genes from expressing. More shuffling increases the chance of something different to activate compared to the parent. Most of the time, a different gene does nothing. Sometimes, its worse and the offspring dies. But sometimes the offspring unlocks something more beneficial, and this increased survival rate spreads out through the population. Low genetic diversity is a problem because the chances of genetic shuffling is lower, risks of negative genes expressing is higher. If some disease hits a low diversity population, it is less likely any members of the species has happened upon a genetic quirk that increases their resistance, which is why cloned species are especially vulnerable to infection. On a side note, there's a portion of the European population that is more resistant to the bacteria that cause the Black Death. You can imagine why.

Those female only lizards are healthy now, so a clone wouldn't necessarily come out with issues. But they would be way more vulnerable to environmental shocks.

They have said that since this is the first known case of parthenogenesis in rays they don't know how long the pregnancy will be. The average gestation period for stingrays is three to four months, so Charlotte is well over the due date for a typical mother stingray.

I was really hoping the marbled crayfish would get mentioned. They are a newer species that only evolved in 1988. They are triploid, and their offspring are actually clones of the mother. The entire species exclusively reproduces by parthenogenesis. They were first discovered in the pet trade in 1995, but we haven't really been able to track down where the first one came from. The species has escaped into the wild in some areas and may become an invasive species. The is especially likely because every individual can reproduce on their own.

There was sperms donated and an angel brought it with a turkey baster (actually a small eye dropper but Big guy was sensitive about that)

what's funny is that if mammals could do parthenogenesis, all the resulting babies would be female - no Y chromosomes available

There are lots of myths in which parthenogenesis happens. To name a couple…. The Egyptian Sun god Ra created Shu and Tefnut from his spit The Norse Giant Ymir created several gods from his sweat The Greek Goddess Hera created Hephaistos by eating a flower and Hebe by eating lettuce. Of course those all depend on which version of the myth you are reading.

@@deckardcanine Hinduism does, and there are many stories of parthenogenesis in it.

It's so adorable how shark babies are called "pups", as if they were dog puppies.

Renamed the stingray to Mary-lotte. 😂

Lovely voice, very soothing. But also I realize the fish are like the blue aliens from mass effect. I understand how the aliens work now lol.

I love hearing about immaculate conception in animals it strengthens my faith cuz if animals can do it then Mary could do it

Adorable baby panda 12:30 ! 😍

I love the shout out to Madona. Anyone else catch it?

While parthenogenesis is impossible in placental mammals, could it happen in egg-laying mammals? Or do they have the same or a similar form of genetic tagging? And what about marsupials?

Why and how, but mostly why do they automatically kill diploid males? Are they dangerous, sterile, have super powers? How do the other bees know they are haploid or diploid?

I would imagine that they're probably sterile (and thus useless to the hive), but have no idea how the other bees can tell (presumably pheromone differences?).

You are a great presenter.

Now we know where the virgin birth stories come from

noted, thanks

Trying my best too. Love that hoodie. Need one in Spanish

Very interesting video. 👍

see with your video title I thought you would be talking about hermaphroditic species that produce both sperm and eggs and could end up fertilizing themselves the old fashioned way (like slugs, many snails, barnacles, a whole lot of plants). That's where most of the disadvantages of inbreeding derive. I guess there's also starfish being able to reproduce by getting sliced up or sponges reproducing by budding.
