Reproduction Stratagies

<< < (2/2)

Numsgil:
Assuming we can actually create two species co-existing, yeah, that would work too.

I can't even get vegs to survive without repoping except through cancer (which doesn't work when I set the veg feeding method to nrg/kilobody).

Ah a fine use of a biology book :)

Imprinting

So based on the parent the chromosome(w/genes) comes from, the gene could change in behavior. Whew I think I can just barely wrap my mind around that one :blink: Still sounds like this could lead to some pretty advanced behaviors.

Ulciscor:
I was thinking and this must mean the gene is common in both parents I.e. an allele.
I also found more examples like a gene in a male moose using calcium to make horns but the same gene used for making milk in females. But since this whole thing seems to be gender based I don't know how it would work.
No wait! Surely imprinting takes place when a gene for blue eyes and a gene for green eyes is inherited? Or is this about which gene is dominant? I will have to look this up.

Endy:
Parent A - XX
Parent B - XY

We just record from which parent a specific chromosome "letter" comes from. If the child has XY for example it could know the Y is from it's father and the X from the mother. Possibly just save it as a variable to pass the info onto the bot.
