..................................................... Scientists Induce A VIRGIN BIRTH
The Washington Post
July 28, 2023
"For the first time, scientists tinkering with fruit fly genes have succeeded in inducing virgin birth in an animal that normally reproduces sexually. The findings could have implications for food security, because virgin births may be becoming more common among crop pests, the researchers say.
The researchers induced virgin birth, also known as parthenogenesis, in a species of fruit fly called Drosophila melanogaster. The genetically tweaked fruit flies could then pass down their virgin-birthing ability to following generations, but it happened only if no males were around for mating, the new study found.
While the vast majority of animals must breed to reproduce, a small minority can avoid dating and mating altogether. Virgin birth occurs when an egg develops into an embryo without needing fertilization from a male. When parthenogenesis occurs, the offspring are always female. And while their genes are similar to their mother's, they are not exact clones.
Scientists have previously identified parthenogenesis in animals such as snakes, birds, fish, lizards and, more recently, crocodiles. However, the new study, published Friday in Current Biology, is the first to provide a genetic basis for why it happens."

Post #2When scientists break the laws of nature, we call it a great success. When mystics do it, it is labelled woo. The takeaway in both cases is that all is possible because we are God. The scientist realizes it through the use of technology. Mystics realize it through the use of faith.
