Hermaphrodite

One great organism to study is Caenorhabditis elegans (C.elegans ) because it is hermaphrodites, transparents and small enough to observe under the microscope. After adding mutagens to them, scientists can get all kinds of freak worms after few days. “Bag of worms” are one of them. It can not lay eggs so its body occupied with dozens of eggs. When eggs hatched inside the worm, larvae eat the mother worm and them come out. Ambros, a scientists who just finished doctor degree at MIT, first…

Sex is the physical structure of one’s reproductive organs, biological sex is determined by chromosomes. It is argued that…

Most individual barnacles have simultaneous hermaphroditism, both male and female reproductive organs, and in some groups the males, are much smaller than the hermaphrodites. Characteristic differences in structure or behavior between sexes are widespread in the Crustacea and can be extreme, males of some groups may be so small that they are difficult to find on the much larger female some of the parasitic copepods…

Acceptance and Denial of Labels Society has naturalized the practice of designating and enforcing stereotypical ideals and behaviors upon groups of all ages.

allow for the application of data to other model systems. Hobert (2000) believes, that the patterns of these LIM-homeodomain proteins is evident from studies about Drosophila to C. elegans. LIM proteins have their own transcription factors and cytoskeletal elements. Structurally, a LIM domain has cysteines with 2 zinc fingers. These LIM homeodomain (LIM-HD) proteins regulate the formation of cell line cells and influence differentiation. (Dawid et al., 1995) To control these proteins, it is…
