A crayfish capable of cloning itself is taking over European countries — and the EU has banned its transport, production, and release, reports NYT.
Parthenogenesis can occur without meiosis through mitotic oogenesis. This is called apomictic parthenogenesis. Mature egg cells are produced by mitotic divisions, and these cells directly develop into embryos. In flowering plants, cells of the gametophyte can undergo this process. The offspring produced by apomictic parthenogenesis are full ...
In Jordan Peele’s incredible 2019 horror film Us, an army of human doppelgängers called The Tethered arise to take the place of the existing human population. It hits at some of our core fears ...
Females can produce full clones of themselves through a modification of the normal meiosis process used to produce haploid egg cells for sexual reproduction. The female's germ cells undergo a process of premeiotic genome doubling, or endoreduplication, so that two consecutive division cycles in the process of meiosis result in a diploid, rather than haploid, genome.
The marbled crayfish or Marmorkrebs (Procambarus virginalis) is a parthenogenetic crayfish that was discovered in the pet trade in Germany in 1995. [4] [5] Marbled crayfish are closely related to the "slough crayfish", Procambarus fallax, [6] which is widely distributed across Florida. [7] No natural populations of marbled crayfish are known.
From this, it can be inferred that the crayfish spends most its time moving very slowly, or not at all, to conserve energy. Since food is scarce in this environment and there are few opportunities to feed, these crayfish are likely very opportunistic foragers. [5] Other than this, little is known about the behaviour of C. zophonastes. To better ...
Crayfish can be cooked more humanely by first freezing them unconscious for a few hours, then destroying the central nervous system along their abdomen by cutting the crayfish lengthwise with a long knife down the center of the crayfish before cooking it.
