  • Опубликовано: 5 окт 2024
  • From something as small and complex as a chromosome to something as seemingly simple as the weather, sex determination systems vary significantly across the animal kingdom. Biologist and teacher Aaron Reedy shows us the amazing differences between species when it comes to determination of gender.
    Lesson by Aaron Reedy, animation by BuzzCo (buzzzco.com).

    -Finding Nemo is a lie
    -For an aquatic invertebrate, if you're on the top you are a male. If you are in the bottom, you're a female.

    • @razredge07
      @razredge07 7 лет назад +20

      Cloning can be an imperfect process, which means mutations (some of which may be beneficial) can occur... but it is at a much slower rate than species who jumble their genes via sex. It is a risky strategy for a species to take, but it does allow for some degree of variation.

    • @andrep4805
      @andrep4805 7 лет назад +7

      Short answer is it hasnt happened yet, but there's no guarantee it would ever happen either. Statistics mean they are more likely to not have genetic resistance in their population, not that they are more vulnerable. Clones are all the same, but not all diseases are deadly either. Kind of like how humans have almost no genetic resistance to HIV (a few might), but there are enough of us around that one Might mutate in some way that prevents infection or spread, or deadliness, or anything that could help. If we mutate, we can pass it on, and clones have to inherit it, but we can mix it up mutayions through chromosome crossover, but they go one mutation at a time.

      Petit Orenji why would i be afraid? because some dude who could just be gay and there is nothing wrong with it turns into something his body is not? like think of it if no one is trans then the birth rate and the minds of men and female will be good cause they know hey the one i'm dating is me (I'm going with hedrosexual relationships ok) so a guy wants a kid with a person he been with for about 3 years and he wants a family with a born woman there won't be a problem but with a trans it's impossible and the three years he could been with a born woman he has wasted it on that person
      I'm not saying that his mind might change but why should it. Cause some dude thought he could have did what a female can,no.
      So no i'm not afraid saying someone is afraid is the lowest argument point you can make.

    There are advantages and disadvantages. Obviously, they cannot evolve and adapt as quickly as sexually reproducing lizards, but they can quickly populate a new area with just one lizard. It's interesting to see how differently some lizards have evolved from others, and why they did so. Somewhere along the way, it worked out better for them.

    Of course, it's even more complicated than that. Not all species are sexually dimorphic. Certain lizards, as you pointed out, undergo parthenogenesis. If such a lizard were able to speak, the word "gender" would have no meaning to it. Certain fungi have thousands of genders. Gender is a somewhat arbitrary evolutionary construct: even among humans, and this is my main point, we have other - biologically verifiable - variants to the male-female system. A transgender person's brain anatomy, for example, is much closer to that of their (so-called) biological gender (i.e. a transgender female has brain chemistry much more similar to that of a "biological" female than she does to a male).
    Also, the chance is not 50/50, especially at a zygotic level. Conception produces somewhere between 25-50% more male zygotes (some research indicates this may be the result of glucose levels in utero: see DOI: 10.1098/rspb.2004.2773). Male zygotes are more likely to fall prey to miscarriage and stillbirth, but at birth the ratio is still higher - roughly 106 boys for every 100 girls. Males are much more likely to fall prey to violence after birth, as well: think of the all-male drafts implemented in times of war or the "save the women and children first" mentality, which (I would hypothesize) has its groundings in strict evolutionary psychology. Environmental conditions also affect this: males are, biologically speaking, a riskier proposition because they have to compete for mating rights whereas females are all but guaranteed the chance at reproduction. Thus, in bad environmental conditions - i.e. not enough food (low glucose) and so on - the parents stand a greater chance at passing on their genes if they have a girl. However, males are favored in good environmental conditions because they have a better chance of copulating with multiple females (the males' act does not require a long gestation period). Ergo, they are a riskier proposition, but one worth taking, which is likely why at sexual maturity the ratio of males to females is roughly equal.

    I've read that the chances of having a boy or girl are more like 51/49, due to the slightly smaller sperm head of the Y sperm (Y chromosomes are smaller than X chromosomes, so the sperm head is smaller for Y than for X). The smaller sized head makes it easier and faster for the Y sperm to reach the egg than for the X sperm.

    I wish they'd mentioned that a lot of people don't think it's accurate to describe workers in eusocial insect species as female. It's more accurate to describe ants, bees, etc as having three sexes rather than two. In a lot of ways, queens and males have more in common with each other than with workers. For example, in ants, both queens and males are born with wings and lose them after mating, whereas workers never have wings. In addition, both queens and males basically just sit around doing nothing but reproduction, while workers have jobs.
