biology sex gender genes

shared by John Burk on 17 Nov 11 - No Cached

Turns out, biological sex determination in mice is kind of an ongoing battle. It doesn’t end during fetal development. It doesn’t even end at birth.

For now, the main thing we can take away from this discovery is a gentle reminder that our bodies really are weird and wonderful. Even if you’re already used to thinking about gender as a fluid concept, it can be strange to realize how flexible biological sex is, as well. Don’t get too hung up on the idea that “male” and “female” must be set-in-stone categories. Nature certainly doesn’t treat sex that way.

Interesting TED Talk about protocells from Martin Hanczyc. Where does life start and end? On the spectrum from non-living to living, he introduces his work with protocells. They speak to how life may have originated from only a few chemicals. Like his definition of living.
