We all have a common ancestor, something we are all descended from.
That organism lived a very long time ago.
We all have a similar ancestor.
Which means we may be about 999999999th cousins or something.
Archaea are much more hardy than Bacteria, which are both related to Eukarya.
Protista, Fungi, Plants and Humans are related to Eukarya.
Fungi are Hederotrophs, like animals.
All animals, including us are made out of lots of cells, including us.
Cats, Dogs and Skeevers are Carnivorous.
Cats are also called Felis Catus.
If you can spot the easter egg here, you are pretty good at finding stuff.
By the way, skeevers eat rabbits and other small animals.
Birds are closely related to Reptiles, but they were thought to be related to butterflies, because they could both fly.
We are related to primates, and we might be thought to be related to primates, because we both walk on 2 legs.
Taxonomy was founded by Carl Lineaus.
Carl Lineaus was kinda weird, because he wanted his students to collect specimens for his studies.
Lineaus didn't have much idea about where life came from.
The 3 domains are bacteria, eukarya, and Archaea.
Bacteria and Eukarya used to be just one domain called Monera.
There are lots of animals, and we are descended from eukarya.
Animalia is every animal in existence.
Monera are tiny things.
100 percent of adorable organisms are in Animalia.
We are more closely related to mice than we are to fish, and we are more related to fish than fruit flies.
Mammalia mostly have a tail and a backbone.
Felidae is the family of cats, which includes tigers, lions, cougars, werecats, leopards, cheetas, sabre toothed tigers, sabre cats, cat people, cats of course, ocelots, ligers, tigrons and finally, what you have all been waiting for, please wait for a few more words............ the Toyger.
Every living thing on this planet is related to every other living thing on this planet.
The organism that we all (Yes. Even plants) descended from lived a long long long long long long long long long long long long long long long long looooooooooong time ago.
New species get discovered all the time.
What's that? Do you smell some humor coming up?
The dog species is called the canines, similar to felines. Things in the canine family are: Wolves, dogs, Barbas, Meeko, Vigilance, Werewolves, Jake, Jacob the Werewolf, Smiledog.jpg, Cerberus, Blind Dogs, Pseudodogs, and finally, what you have all been waiting for, just wait for a few more words, The Familiar.
Rodents include: Rats, Beavers, Skeevers, Naked Mole Rats, Wererats, Buck-Toothed Platypus Rats, and finally, what you have been waiting for, you don't even care do you, The Capybara.
We are all part of eukarya, the place where every part of life starts.

Darwin Never Met Mendel.
Darwin had no idea how traits were passed on to a father or mother's descendants.
Darwin and Mendel had no idea that their ideas connected together, and they never did.
Mendel had an idea how traits were passed on to a father or mother's descendants.
We have something important that we do.... NOT RANDOMLY MATING.
Dogs mate randomly though. Maters Gonna Mate.
Most animals mate randomly, but some animals have 1 mate for life.
Dry earwax genes are recessive, so there is more chance that you will have wet earwax.
9% of people have dry earwax.
We still have some kind of urge to randomly mate, because we used to.
Darwin and Mendel worked at exactly the same time.
Mendel studied how animal genes were passed on to their offspring, and darwin studied how natural selection worked, those two things connected together and now we know how people and animals evolve. Not a long story.
Mendel found out about alleles.
Earwax is a great example of how traits are passed down from parents, as you have a better chance of having wet earwax than having dry earwax.
If you have half wet earwax and half dry earwax in your genetics, you will have wet earwax because there is a better chance of having wet earwax.
If you have completely dry earwax, you will have dry earwax.
Darwin didn't understand mutation, where a mistake happens in meiosis.
The mutant may be better or worse at a certain thing it does.
Genetic Drift's effects are best seen in small populations.
Hardy and Weinberg came up with the exact same thing, and they didn't even know each other.
The Hardy Weinberg equilibrium requires no natural selection, no sexual selection, no mutations, a giant population side and no gene flow.
The Hardy Weinberg equilibrium is no fun at all.
Both parents contribute a version of their genes called an allele to their child.
That is what Mendel found out.
Population Genetics involve both Darwin and Mendel's ideas.
Darwin defended his ideas from haters.
Non random Mating is encouraged in all readers of my blog. Do not randomly mate.
Sexual Selection are alleles for more sexy creatures.
The Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium says no to lots of selections, and it doesn't allow gene flow.
Hardy and Weinberg, like Mendel and Darwin, never knew each other. Ever.
Earwax is a great example of recessive and dominant alleles, because wet earwax is dominant and dry earwax is recessive.
If the Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium is used in a population, 9% of that population will have dry earwax, and 91% will have wet earwax.
A lot of people have wet earwax, including me, and 91% of the time you.
However, if you are that 9% that doesn't, I cannot even say how lucky you are. I want your earwax.
We know a whole lot about heredity.
Sexual Selection is when a more good looking guy gets all the girls.
The smaller the population, the more chance there will be genetic drift.
Hardy and Weinberg made the Hardy-Weinberg equation, which teaches a lot about genetics and stuff.
Non random mating goes out of the window when lust gets involved. LOL.
Firstly, before you marry, it's actually lust that drives you to your girlfriend. Everyone does it. That means everyone is committing a sin! Noooooooooo.... Nah jk. LOL.
Some mutations can result in the death or deformation of the offspring, but sometimes it makes the person better at stuff.
Hardy and Weinberg found out about the same thing at 1908.
There are only 2 alleles for earwax.
I dunno if the Hardy Weinberg Equilibrium is even possible in real life, because natural selection must happen, and sexual selection happens a lot with animals.
Mendel's information would be pretty interesting to darwin.
There are several factors that change the allele frequency in the population.
We have lots of alleles, which we will pass onto our descendants, Or already have.
If you bring over your hot cousin from the next island over, that would mess up the hardy-weinberg equilibrium.
Population genetics are not a complicated idea.
Sexual alleles are for sexy pplz.
Lol.
Hardy and Weinberg didn't do anything amazing that made this happen, they just searched for stuff, and then it happened, Hardy Weinberg Equilibrium! LOL!
I know Allele is spelled allele instead of allelle because the word correction tells me that.
Natural Selection makes the alleles that make you survive more frequent.
Gene Flow is when a population mixes with another population.
Gene Flow will mess with the allele frequencies in the hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, which is why it was banned in it.

Evolutionary Development!!!11!!!
We are 85% genetically identical to mice.
Boys usually try to become scientists because they want to blow stuff up, or get bitten by a super radioactive monkey so they become a super radioactive battle monkey, but in fact, scientists are very careful in their experiments.
Butt eyeballs are a real thing, because of some terrible swiss scientists. I mean eyeballs on the butt, not butts on the eyeballs.
Birds lost their teeth as they evolved from raptors, which took a looooooooooong time.
Birds still have genes for teeth.
Mutant chicken embryos had TEETH.
There are weird mutant animals that you can make if you switch on the genes that weren't used by the guys.
Chickens can have fangs. So rooster teeth actually makes cents now! Rooster Teeth thought about everyting!
If we switch a gene, we might grow hair everywhere. I think. Whatever.
Genes are cool, because of the cool things we can do if we switch genes on and off.
It isn't fun to blow stuff up. There may be a bloodstain on the ceiling to symbolise the memorable moment when your intestines got blown all across the ceiling.
Or maybe if you become a radioactive battle human, there may be that blood stain on the wall that symbolises that memorable moment when you turned your colleague into minced homo sapien sapien.
More on evolutionary development. Us mixing genes has just been started lately, the event with the fly with eyeballs on it's butt occured in 1997.
We have lots of genes, and one of them is not having a thumb in the middle of your forehead or (oh god why) a butt on your forehead.
If we go deep into our genes, we even might be able to edit our babies to have 4 eyes, but I think you wouldn't consider doing that. If you are considering that, you are so cruel.
The event where chicks had teeth shows that birds still have some reptile genes in them. You could maybe make a chicken into a reptile! But I doubt it.
Genes are given instructions, and then they do what they're said to do.
Birds lost teeth about 60,000 years ago, just to pop back up again with the mutant chicks with teeth incident.
Hox genes kick in after the embryo is more developed, and it gives instructions on where to put the body parts.
Most regulatory genes are inherited.
There only put regulatory genes in the butt of the eyeball butt fly, so they only evolved fly eyeballs.
Hox stands for Homeobox. I think.
We are all built using the same blueprint.
Evolution is not mutations, it's just genes being switched on and off.
All animals are way more similar than we think they are.
We are extremely similar to a chimp, but not exactly the same.
If you are a scientist that is an ace in evolutionary development, you might be able to make a fly with eyeballs on it's butt, or a chicken with teeth. BUT NO BATTLE MONKEYS.
Hox genes only activate genes. Other genes make the body parts.
Gene Products are already sitting in the egg before it's fertilized.
Our Hox gene instructions are similar to lots of other Hox gene instructions for other mammals.
Birds are similar to velicoraptors, but as you may have seen, birds don't have teeth, do they? No they don't. So they still have the teeth gene.
If you find a blind animal embryo, and switch on the gene that gives it eyes, it might get eyes. Best done with the blind cave fish.
No genes are activated until they are told when to activate it.
Our genetic makeup is very similar to our mammal counterparts, including dogs, cats, mice, etc.
All animals are way more similar than we think they are.
If a chimp is wearing a fedora, you might briefly think it is a human, or not even notice it at all.
The short answer of how we are similar to a mouse is Developmental Regulatory Genes.
All vertebrates have similar genes, like that we have a backbone, mouths, stuff like that.
Hox genes make a huge effect on how the animal will look.
It may be possible to turn a reptile into some kind of bird, but that might not be possible because the bird stage of evolution was after the reptile stage.
Evolution takes place over a long time.
These genes being switched on and off explains how animals evolve, because animals had too little time to evolve like they should have.
Mammals have more relations to each other than vertebrates, but we still are pretty similar.

Animal Development
We were just tubes, like worms, but then we evolved into humans through million of years.
There are 8 parts of animal species difference, the species, the genus, the family, the order, the class, the phylum, the kingdom and the domain.
Sea Sponges have a very simple body system, and if you, well, blenderise a sea sponge and leave it's blenderised body for a day, the sea sponge bits will form into a new sponge.
Sponges don't have a mouth or an anus.
Some animals have 1 hole that acts as a mouth and a anus.
Aren't you glad that you're a little more complicated than that.
We are actually still just tubes, at least what's inside us.
Our Intestines, veins, etc, are just tubes, as I said earlier.
The formation of the digestive tract is the first stage of becoming a sentient being that's alive, you know what I mean.
We have a complex digestive tract, and again, be thankful that you have a mouth and a anus.
We have lots of germ layers, like other complex mammals.
Other animals, like shellfish have their mouth and anus on their same tube, which is kinda gross, but the shellfish doesn't care, that's just how it's built.
We all used to be shellfish so we also excreted poop through are mouths. Gross.
Sponges are kinda like octopuses, as they both have brains all around them, but I think that only the sponges can reform together.
Sea Sponges don't have mouths.
Sea Sponges don't have anuses either.
Sea Sponges have a Monus! Lol, It's kinda like a mouth and a anus, umm, yeah, ok.
We have an Ectoderm and an Endoderm, the ectoderm being the skin and the endoderm being the intestines, inside parts, stuff, etc.
Embryos evolve all the body parts that a normal animal would have through all the months or years that the baby is inside the womb.
Were all just tubes! Were all just tubes! TUBES! Don't you understand man! TUBES!
A sea sponge is a mess symmetry wise.
The sea sponge can survive no matter how many pieces it is in, just try doing that with another animal, actually, wait, NO, DON'T TRY DOING THAT WITH ANOTHER ANIMAL.
The Morula is named after a mulberry because it looks like one.
We are built around tubes.
Gastrulation is where developing stops for the Monus creatures.
Darwin edited pictures to correspond with his theory instead of editing his theory to correspond with the pictures.
Animals at the phylum level have lots of differences.
Sea sponges are not so amazing multi-cellular organisms.
We, as animals have a digestive tract with a mouth at one end and an anus at the other.
Embryos don't look like the animal that they're meant to look like first, but through the time in the womb they become more and more like the animal that they're meant to look like.
Hippies and PETA are not the only people that care about nature, ecologists do too.
If a sperm cell and an egg cell connect, they will develop into a variety of animals, depending on which type of sperm and egg they have.
Sea anemones, jellyfish and corals only have a Monus.
All vertebrates are Deuterostomes, which means that all of us vertebrates were just a puny butthole attached to something.
We don't stop at Diploblasts, we keep evolving until we're Triploblasts.
All vertebrate embryos look pretty similar, at least in the eyes of Heckell.
Heckell observed embryos for a long time, which must be pretty horrifying, unless the embryo is still in the womb.
Heckell was editing his drawings to match his theory, which was pretty bad, because you should instead make the theory match your drawings.
The endoderm of our germ layers makes up our digestive tract, our esophagus, you know what I mean.
It's unbelievably amazing that we evolve from a one celled organism to a human being.
Sea Sponges do not have any organs, or brains, or, well, you know, they are pretty much nothing.
Embryos get their food from a tube called an umbilical cord.
Some of the food a pregnant woman eats will get transferred to the embryo through the umbilical cord.
But for eggs, the food is transferred from the yolk, where the delicious raw yolk (eww) gets eaten by the chick while still in the egg.
Not only chicks but also reptiles, amphibians and fish also use the egg tactic, only us mammals only use the umbilical cord-Painful birth-Mother in terrible pain tactic.
Basically, god's been a scumbag creating us mammals. He only gave echidnas and Platypuses the awesome egg laying ability.
And we have to go through a painful birth. Well only the women. Poor women.

Speciation!
Lions and Tigers can have babies, aka Ligers and Tigrons.
If a male lion and a female tiger have a cub, it will become a Liger.
If a male tiger and a female lion have a cub, it will become a Tigron.
Mules are made when a male donkey and a female horse have a baby.
All of the three animals that I've described earlier cannot have babies themselves.
I can't be sure about this, but I think that there are lots of other crossbreeded animals out there.
Some dog breeds can breed with each other, some cannot.
We are related to chimps and bonobos, but I don't think that means you should try to mate with them, if you know what I mean.
Two organisms have to have fertile offspring if they want their offspring to have offspring.
Lions and tigers cannot create fertile offspring.
Donkeys and Horses cannot have fertile offspring either.
We are slightly related to our ancestors, homo erectus and homo habilis.
You can imagine a liger as a tiger with lion skin and a tigron as a lion with tiger skin.
If your species branches out too far, you will not be able to make fertile offspring with the other branch.
An example of one species being separated is when a branch of a bird species becomes nocturnal, making it a completely different branch and eventually a different species.
Ground Finches and Cactus Finches can have babies, which was bigger than the other ones.
Dog Breeding takes the natural out of the selection.
We are the now dominant homo, and we made all the others go extinct.
We are Homo Sapien Sapiens.
Lions and Tigers are different species, but they are from the same family, the feline family.
Humans and Monkeys are different species, but they are from the same family, the primate family.
All of our other ancestors kicked the bucket long ago.
We lack significant body hair because, maybe we were originally designed for the sea, with hair that is good for swimming. This is only a theory, because we are made to eat seafood. There are more theories, but in my opinion, this is the most logical.
Don't completely believe what I said earlier, our natural food might not be seafood, this is just another theory. The reason of this theory being made is because fish oil makes our brain better and it seems that people who eat fish live longer.
There are lots of theories about human evolution, but I think the seafood one is the most logical. This is just my opinion, you can choose your own.
The next sentence is another example of speciation.
The Homo Sapiens (not us) split into two species, Homo Sapiens Sapiens(us) and Homo Sapeins Neanderthalensis.
Almost all past animals speciated to become two different species, like birds and reptiles. Ever heard of the Archaeopteryx? The Archaeopteryx is a reptile that slowly morphed into a bird. The bird species is just the product of speciation! Dinosaurs speciated to become birds and maybe even mammals!
The fish speciated to become amphibians, which speciated to become reptiles, which speciated to become birds and animals.
There is a lot of speciation in animal evolution.
I'm kinda exaggerating here, because speciation did not cause everything. This is just one of my theories.
You cannot reproduce with other mammals other than even only a small amount of apes, but I think you should stick with humans, dude. Because the reproduction stage for a human and another hairy ape is like "Oh........ God."
Stick to your own species please.
Humans may be far apart, but we are still not too far apart to not be able to reproduce with each other, humans can still reproduce with humans.
In the future, I think we will still be able to reproduce with each other, but if we split too far, we won't be able to reproduce with each other, although this happening is very unlikely.
If one branch of a species lived in a snowy environment and another branch lived in a very tropical environment, they might be able to split into two new species, but this hasn't happened yet with humans, if it ever will.
You cannot reproduce with other mammals other than even only a small amount of apes, but I think you should stick with humans, dude. Because the reproduction stage for a human and another hairy ape is like "Oh........ God."
Stick to your own species please.
Humans may be far apart, but we are still not too far apart to not be able to reproduce with each other, humans can still reproduce with humans.
In the future, I think we will still be able to reproduce with each other, but if we split too far, we won't be able to reproduce with each other, although this happening is very unlikely.
If one branch of a species lived in a snowy environment and another branch lived in a very tropical environment, they might be able to split into two new species, but this hasn't happened yet with humans, if it ever will.

If a male lion and a female tiger have a cub, it will become a Liger.
If a male tiger and a female lion have a cub, it will become a Tigron.
Mules are made when a male donkey and a female horse have a baby.
All of the three animals that I've described earlier cannot have babies themselves.
I can't be sure about this, but I think that there are lots of other crossbreeded animals out there.
Some dog breeds can breed with each other, some cannot.
We are related to chimps and bonobos, but I don't think that means you should try to mate with them, if you know what I mean.
Two organisms have to have fertile offspring if they want their offspring to have offspring.
Lions and tigers cannot create fertile offspring.
Donkeys and Horses cannot have fertile offspring either.
We are slightly related to our ancestors, homo erectus and homo habilis.
You can imagine a liger as a tiger with lion skin and a tigron as a lion with tiger skin.
If your species branches out too far, you will not be able to make fertile offspring with the other branch.
An example of one species being separated is when a branch of a bird species becomes nocturnal, making it a completely different branch and eventually a different species.
Ground Finches and Cactus Finches can have babies, which was bigger than the other ones.
Dog Breeding takes the natural out of the selection.
We are the now dominant homo, and we made all the others go extinct.
We are Homo Sapien Sapiens.
Lions and Tigers are different species, but they are from the same family, the feline family.
Humans and Monkeys are different species, but they are from the same family, the primate family.
All of our other ancestors kicked the bucket long ago.
We lack significant body hair because, maybe we were originally designed for the sea, with hair that is good for swimming. This is only a theory, because we are made to eat seafood. There are more theories, but in my opinion, this is the most logical.
Don't completely believe what I said earlier, our natural food might not be seafood, this is just another theory. The reason of this theory being made is because fish oil makes our brain better and it seems that people who eat fish live longer.
There are lots of theories about human evolution, but I think the seafood one is the most logical. This is just my opinion, you can choose your own.
The next sentence is another example of speciation.
The Homo Sapiens (not us) split into two species, Homo Sapiens Sapiens(us) and Homo Sapeins Neanderthalensis.
Almost all past animals speciated to become two different species, like birds and reptiles. Ever heard of the Archaeopteryx? The Archaeopteryx is a reptile that slowly morphed into a bird. The bird species is just the product of speciation! Dinosaurs speciated to become birds and maybe even mammals!
The fish speciated to become amphibians, which speciated to become reptiles, which speciated to become birds and animals.
There is a lot of speciation in animal evolution.
I'm kinda exaggerating here, because speciation did not cause everything. This is just one of my theories.

Natural Selection!
Natural Selection occurs when the animals that are more suitable to the environment survive, and the ones that are not don't.
The animals that survive, of course, reproduce, making the species more adapted to the current environment.
Charles Darwin discovered Natural Selection, when he found out that Galapagos Finches on different islands had different beaks, showing that the species of Finches that was more suitable for that Island survived, and the ones that weren't didn't.
The Finches also increased fitness until it was suitable for the island they were on.
Through Natural Selection we got to where we were today.
If an animal gives birth, usually there is a runt of the litter, which normally does not survive because the other young push it out of the way, leaving it to die.
The sentence above is another example of natural selection.
Darwin married his cousin, which made him think about natural selection and if his offspring would be healthy.
Darwin studied crossbreeding and inbreeding.
Darwin had 10 children. 3 of them died in their childhood and the other 7 were not very healthy, which made him think even more about natural selection and inbreeding.
Giraffes adapted to have medium length necks, with the ones with very long necks dying and the ones with very short necks dying.
Medium is best for Natural Selection, but now the big kids also survive because of a Ceasarian Section, where an operation is made to get the large baby out through a cut in the womb, which they pull the big baby out of.
Birds had a hard time seeing common pepper moths until the trees turned black because of the soot, after that, the rarer, black moths survived.
Charles Darwin, maybe one of the most famous scientists, went to the galapagos islands, and you know the rest, I made notes on it.
Charles Darwin was interested in natural selection for his whole life.
The Galapagos Finches were one of the most important things in science.
Emma Wedgewood was the wife of Charles Darwin, and, actually was his first cousin.
Darwin also studied plant crossbreeding.
The survival rate of babies was better for the middle range babies.
There are lots of examples of natural selection.
The animals need to adapt to the environment, food, water, pretty much any essential thing if they want to survive.
Some animals use sexual selection, like deer and peacocks.
Sexual selection is when the stronger male, in this case, the one with the bigger horns and the bigger plumage, gets all the girls.
Natural Selection is one of the most important types of evolutionary change in history.
Populations can have way more offspring if there is an abundance of food, but when that food runs out, most of the young will die, the survivors being the winners of natural selection.
Normally, the survivors of natural selection should have all of the offspring, making all of the babies like them, so they will survive better than the ones who died.
There are lots of causes of natural selection, including a parasite, change in the weather, change in food and lots of other things.
Charles Darwin was obsessed with observing nature.
Charles Darwin went to the galapagos islands on a ship called the Beagle.
There was someone in the Beagle that didn't want to believe charles darwin, he was a very serious christian.
Darwin's family was not as healthy as the average family in the present.
The Coal Powered Factories is the reason that the white peppered moths almost went extinct.
Only 5 percent of the peppered moths were white after a bit of soot covered trees.
Charles Darwin also studied his own family. Awkward, huh?
The Finches that ate hard seeds had thick beaks, the ones that ate insects had skinny, pointed beaks, and finally, the ones that ate cactus fruit had sharp beaks so they could pierce the cactus fruit's skin.
There are lots more finches with a huge variety of beaks.
Darwin wrote to his neighbor about a question about inbreeding.
Darwin's cousin was Emma Wedgewood, and Darwin's mother was also a Wedgewood.
That Wedgewood trait made Darwin's children very weak, as I said before, 3 died in their youth because of a sickness.
Every plant and animal has to go through natural selection if they want to make the most healthy child.
Populations can have way more offspring than food. This happens frequently if we feed the stray animals too much.
If a species separates enough, they can become two new different species. This is called Speciation.
A deer can use it's horns just to look intimidating.
Breeds of dogs are bred through Artificial Selection, which is when the humans choose what dogs should reproduce.
Before, the darker moths were only 5% of the peppered moths, but during the industrial selection.
There are 4 basic principles of natural selection.
If a trait is favorable, it will be passed on to the next generation of the species.
If a war kills a lot of people and there are only a few survivors, that would be another example of natural selection.
Natural Selection can also happen with plague, in a similar way to war.
Jesiah Wedgewood was a person that founded a really good pottery company.
The animals that survive, of course, reproduce, making the species more adapted to the current environment.

Meiosis.
Offspring have half their mom's traits, half their dad's traits.
The male produces the sperm, and the female produces the egg.
Offspring have half of each of their parent's traits because of the process of mitosis.
Mitosis and Meiosis are similar.
All of your cells have 46 chromosomes.
Meiosis is like Mitosis, except twice.
The first stage of Meiosis is Prophase 1.
You and your brother would normally be different, except if you were identical twins.
Identical Twins! Shout out in the comments!
There are lots of stages in Meiosis, like Metaphase 1 and Telophase 1.
Meiosis marks a checkpoint between it with Cytokinesis.
There are more stages in Meiosis, including Prophase 2, Metaphase 2, Telophase 2, you get the point, don't you?
Finally, Meiosis finishes with another stage of Cytokinesis.
Half of your sperm( Of course, if you're a man) is female, half is male.
When (You know) happens, the sperm go into a crazy race to get to the egg.
The most common reproduction is sexual reproduction.
Sexual reproduction begins with sex cells.
We all have different sex cells.
The answer to the mystery of sexual reproduction is Meiosis.
Once again, there are so many reasons that you can't clone yourself.
If you took all the DNA from one of your parents, you would be a clone of them.
There are special cells that have only 23 cells, the sperm and the egg.
A special diploid cell splits in half two times in the process of Meiosis.
Part 1 and Part 2 of Meiosis are extremely similar in many ways.
Men produce sperm and women produce eggs after puberty begins.
If you want to know a good way to describe Meiosis, think of it as Mitosis, two times.
In the process of mitosis, the cells split into two cells with 46 chromosomes, but when those two cells split again, they become four cells, each with 23 chromosomes.
The vast majority of your cells can clone themselves.
If half of your cells were from your mom and half from your dad, you would look really weird.
Sperm and Egg cells are Haploid Cells.
All the stages of meiosis happen in mitosis too.
Each double chromosome has two chromatids.
In Meiosis, every copy is very, very different.
Double chromosomes trade their genetic codes in a process called recombination.
One of the pillars of natural selection is variation, so to speak.
Male cells have XY chromosomes, Female cells have XX chromosomes.
You need a Y chromosome to become a male.
Telophase 1 is the final stage of the first part of Meiosis.
After the first part of Meiosis, we have 2 haploid cells.
Next, in the second part of Meiosis, we will have 4 haploid cells, 2 male and 2 female.
All of the haploid cells produced in Meiosis are the same size, but they are going to be different in lots of ways.
Every human started as one tiny tiny cell.
Homologous means two cells have the same relation.
The egg is created when another cell splits into 4 but only 1 is used, the egg of course.
The other 3 cells are called Polar Bodies, and they are completely useless.
The first stage of Mitosis And Meiosis is Interphase.
In Prophase 1, the copies of the chromosomes stick to each other.
Your mother's chromosome' and your father's chromosomes' Xs get tangled up during Meiosis. All 4 chromatids will be different in lots of ways.
The 23rd pair of chromosomes will become part of your sex cells.
In Telophase 1, the nucleus duplicates itself.
In Cytokinesis, the cell completely duplicates itself.
Don't forget, Cytokinesis happens twice.
Prophase 2 is slightly different from Prophase 1.
At first, the egg in Meiosis splits into 1 egg and 1 polar body, after that, the egg splits into 1 egg and 1 polar body and the polar body splits into 2 polar bodies.
Lots of our sex cells are different.
Meiosis is also used by plants and animals which don't have live birth.
All of your body cells contain the same mix of DNA.
Only some cells can go through the process of mitosis.
Your sex cells are contained in your ovaries, if you are a woman, or your testes, if you are a man.
You were born to make life.
Men and women have to be a certain age before their sex cells are ready, there is a name for that stage of life, puberty, duh.
1 pair of your chromosomes will become your sex chromosomes.
You always end up with 4 cells in meiosis, but when you're a girl, the other 3 cells are useless, as you only need 1 egg.
It is amazing that you came from 1 cell. If you aren't surprised by this I don't know how to impress you.
