Parthenogenesis takes a mother. It's a father she'd be missing.
I thought that parthenogenesis was like budding, it didn't so much require a parent.
Sir? I think you have a problem with your brain being missing.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

No--it's reproduction from an egg, sans homme. I'm pretty sure that budding always results in a replica of the original, whereas parthenogenesis doesn't have to--in fact, in some organisms it results in males.

so, budding is a form of parthenogenesis, but parthenogenesis is not necessarily budding?

No--I don't think budding has anything to do with eggs. Parthenogenesis is egg-only reproduction.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I have no excuse for why i watched the entire episode.
... in other words, I don't know why I watched the entire episode, either.
I do! Because it was on before SPN, and I was too lazy to find the remote.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Happy birthday billtea and happy day-after-your-birthday Polter-Cow and happy day one and all.
Hee. Thank you (and everyone else). It has now been the day after my birthday for a while, since I am on the other side of the International Date Line. I is now 40. I'm sure I'll start acting like it any day now.
Anyway, I just got back from picking up my birthday present - I have an iPhone! And no real idea how to use it yet. Still, today I'm feeling all tech-savvy just through association.

Random. Searching thru streaming Netlix, I see original BSG. Is that Face from A-team as Starbuck?
Yay for iPhone! Somehow I don't think I can call you for free just because you have an iPhone.
