I'd say your body is only as smart as evolution needed it to be. Survival of what's "good enough" is all that's required. Pain and itchiness save our lives but like with everything, they have negative side effects; like spreading a rash, purposely shocking yourself, or opening a wound. Best to just realize our compulsions and resist the best we can.

I love mules, if you know how to handle them they are great. You can teach them to plow and cultivate. If you give them enough room to turn, they won't if trained right , they don't step on the crops. Horses will often take a short cut and trample the end of the rows unless you're very careful. You have to watch them like a hawk.

Please consider doing a video on permaculture and urban food forest.

Something I've been wondering about: How did species evolve different number of chromosomes? At some point, one member of the species would have gotten an extra chromosome. Hypothetically, a chromosome splits or maybe it is born with an extra copy due to meiosis misfires. Wouldn't that member of the species have non-homologous chromosomes from every other member of their species? Isn't this what makes mules sterile? Would two members need to have similar or analogous mutations to be able to breed a new species?

@jannatulnaim547

2 жыл бұрын

People with Down syndrome or trisomy 21 for example can rarely reproduce. There’s a very low chance so they’re most likely sterile like mules for the same reasons. So this applies for all the individuals.

Thanks. Finally a clear understanding of the facts

Nothing is great than seeing a great SciShow video Also I wish y'all a great day

“DON’T TOUCH ME, I’M STERILE!”

So if the chromosomes don't work for mules and hinny offspring to have their own offspring, what I have always wondered is how in tarnation does a horse and a donkey having a hybrid kid in the first place? 🤔

I always wondered about this. Fascinating. Well I watched the rest of the video and now my head hurts.

Always an exception....I remember an article in Western Horsemen magazine in the 70s titled Never Say Never about a female mule who reproduced several times, once with a Saddllebred stalliom.

Great video! I would love a video on how we humans have 46 chromosomes but our nearest living monkey relatives all have 48 (chimps, apes, and orangutans). Are there any theories on how this came about? Is the thought that our monkey cousins developed an extra pair after we divided from our last common relative, or did humans lose a pair during our evolution? And how would that work when it happened? Say an individual is born with the mutation of having a different number of chromosomes then their species population, it would seem difficult for them to reproduce (just like the mule and hinny), so how can individuals with the new chromosome number get numerous enough to become the new population?

3 жыл бұрын

They didn’t lose anything. An individual with a whole pair of chromosomes less wouldn’t be viable. The chromosome number got reduced because two chromosomes fused together.

Yesterday, my husband and I saw a mule at the veterinarian's office and since it was the first time either of us had ever seen a mule we spent a few minutes talking about mules and about why this particular mule had been gelded.

However, he was well known for say, "Ain't nuthin meaner nor more useless than a stud mule." You get all the studdy behavior but without the benefit of an animal that can create life. So mules are gelded young.

3 жыл бұрын

In meiosis, the homologous chromosomes pair each other by sequence complementarity. There’s no one odd chromosome either since the different chromosome number in each parent is the result of either a fusion of two ancestral chromosomes or a split of one chromosome in the lineage of one of the progenitors.

Well, you have to keep in mind that the genetic distinction between phylogenies is something that we made up, it's not inherent to genetics. We dont have a perfect numbers based definition related to genes, species often just being defined as being different enough to be unable to interbreed. Organisms as they evolve drift slowly apart, with changes accumulating until two separate groups are different enough. However, what changes accumulate is different between different species, meaning there may be huge physical distinctions between two species, but they can still interbreed, or vice versa. This is the case with Neanderthals and our ancestors. They had been separated by time enough to be rather physically distinct from each other, but were still closely related enough to interbreed. Some theories even point to this ability as one of the factors that lead to the neanderthal extinction, with them being integrated to an extent into our ancestors species along with being outcompeted. Genetics is really interesting stuff!

It's a different world using mules other than machines. My old Dad in Kentucky kept a pair of mules till each passed any, using them for fencing chores. The strongest pulled a team wagon all by herself. We used her to haul out hay in the Winter to our cattle, and get a little garden plowing too. I still have her collar, hanes, and 3 blade plow in my basement. After I got big enough, I plowed tabacco rows for grass/weed control. You stirred up quite a few memories.

Members of canis are a good example of incomplete speciation. Under normal circumstances behavioral differences prevent mating between coyotes and wolves, wolves and dogs, coyotes and dogs. Jackals are too far physically removed from wolves and coyotes to hybridize with either, except in captivity. In captivity, though, wolves, coyotes, jackals, and dogs can freely interbreed and produce fertile offspring. In the Eastern USA, when wolves had been hunted to near extinction levels, coyotes moved in from the western states to occupy the now open niche that wolves had occupied. The occasional wolf still surviving in the area found it hard to find a wolf as a mate, so they mated with coyotes. The result is the highly adaptable and much larger Eastern coyote. Foxes, OTOH, are too far genetically removed to be able to form viable embryos when bred in captivity with dogs, coyotes, or wolves. Red foxes are not able to hybridize with grey foxes, as they are genetically incompatible, but red foxes can hybridize with arctic foxes to produce a sterile hybrid a lot bigger than either parent.

Hi, I studied genetics university 20 years ago. There is one thing I've never been able to understand. In the evolutionary process, how do chromosome counts and other rearrangements happen? Horses and donkies have a common ancestor. At some point there was a mutation that changed the number of chromisones in one of the lineages. But wouldn't that individual no be able to breed with others in its population? Furthermore, individuals with that mutation would have to replicate so successfully that they surplant to original form. Di we know how this process occurs?

@Strongpoint_S

3 жыл бұрын

1) Some chromosome-number-changing mutations are quite common. For example, Down syndrome appears in the human population again and again. 2) Speaking about Down syndrome, quoting Wikipedia: ...Males with Down syndrome usually do not father children, while females have lower rates of fertility relative to those who are unaffected.[63] Fertility is estimated to be present in 30-50% of females... As of 2006, three instances of males with Down syndrome fathering children and 26 cases of females having children have been reported.[63] Without assisted reproductive technologies, around half of the children of someone with Down syndrome will also have the syndrome. So, if Down syndrome was advantageous, it wouldn't take long for it to become a new norm.

So how did Neandrthals and Home Sapiens breed? Were they just variations of one human species?

Hot off the presses 🔥

Imagine that animal thinking she is a rare case of fertile mule find out she's just an ugly horse.

Are the donkeys and horses an example of convergent evolution or did an ancestor of both lose or gain a gene to create a separate species?
