You are, no doubt, having trouble wrapping your head around that, and you may be wondering about the dating possibilities that exist for these wee beasties. Basically, slime molds can only mix their genetic material when they possess a compatible set of mitochondrial genes known as matA, matB, and matC, each of which has as many as 16 variations (ref). So it would appear that slime molds lead very complicated social lives. Hmm. Since humans only require two sets, how many sexes do humans have? --- If you're going through hell, keep going. -Winston Churchill <cite>Squall28 posted [p:928896045] in Paris zoo ...
