And there's even some of these parthenogenic lizzies, all named Elizabeth also, in Australia.

Binos gecko, for example, has populations that are female only, though I could not find a reference as to whether they partake in the dry humping or not.

So come on, research funding, where are your priorities?

Michael Kearney from the University of Melbourne is effectively reviewing his own job on Earth as a male out of existence.

Seriously, though, Michael is a professor of biosciences and I really wanted to talk to him about Waramarba virgo.

It lives in arid areas of Australia, and you guessed it, all of them are called Grace the grasshopper, not Greg, because it's all female, all the way to the top, baby.

Standard procedure.

She's pure.

She's virginal.

She's absolutely not interested in you sliding into her DMs.

Ooh, tell me the special thing.

Mitosis is where cells split to form two genetically identical cells.

This happens in the most simple of organisms, and it happens in the cells in your body.

But for sexual reproduction, meiosis occurs.

There's no T in it.

And this is where a cell is produced with half the amount of chromosomes, the idea being that you're going to get the other half of the complement from a sexual partner.

This is what makes a gamete, eggs and sperm, different from all of the other cells in an organism.

It's got half the chromosomes.

Got it.

So they double their chromosomes, then they halve the doubled quantity.
