Um, um, what do you call baby shark?
So this is the idea that a female could hold on to sperm inside her, keep it viable and use it to fertilise her own eggs.
Because the genetics would show if it's come from a mummy and a daddy shark or just a mummy being her own woman and getting s*** done.
So, were Leonie's babies little Leonie clones?
Who broke the news to Leo?
You're no longer needed, mate.
And also, notice that Christina's being polite and she subtly corrected me.
The only second round of pups were not clones in this case.
And that's not what the parthenodes are.
This is a different type of parthenogenesis, and there are several sorts actually, each of them deploying a different genetic trick.
In this one, the offspring end up with half the genetic diversity of the mother.
And you can think of this as extreme inbreeding.
Yikes, that does not sound ideal.
