Yeah, what Joe says
One of the more surprising elements was the animal's system for sex determination. Most mammals have two sex chromosomes, either two X chromosomes (to make a female) or an X and a Y (to make a male). Not only do platypuses have 10 instead of two, but some of those resemble the Z and W chromosomes of birds more than standard-issue X's and Y's.Moreover, the key gene on the Y chromosome that confers maleness in most mammals is not present on any of the platypus' sex chromosomes. It is on another chromosome, where it seems to have nothing to do with sex. In its place, another gene seems to be central to sex determination in platypuses, evidence of a shakeout of various evolutionary efforts to settle on a system of sex determination in early mammals.
Wonder what God eats when he has the munchies?
I know without clicking it's the purring thing, yes?
I am so onto them now, I knew they purred different in the morning when they wanted feeding, wee bastards.
Oh! Oh! Gorgeous!! Greyhound, lurcher or whippet?

Yep Quote from: magpie on July 14, 2009, 02:40:13 pmI am so onto them now, I knew they purred different in the morning when they wanted feeding, wee bastards. One of my cats doesn't so much purr, but tramples all over my face and scratches the bed and carpet to fuck until I get up and feed him. Of late though I've taken to shutting him out of the room and he's slowly learning who's boss again.
