Welcome to c/science_memes @ Mander.xyz!

A place for majestic STEMLORD peacocking, as well as memes about the realities of working in a lab.

Rules

  1. Don't throw mud. Behave like an intellectual and remember the human.
  2. Keep it rooted (on topic).
  3. No spam.
  4. Infographics welcome, get schooled.

This is a science community. We use the Dawkins definition of meme.

Genomic imprinting says no. It wouldn't produce a fetus that is in congruence with the possibility of life. It could at most start growing and developing, but it would die in the womb. More akin to a tumor than to a baby.

How comes it's possible for a bird or a fish, but not a human? If this article explains why, it is a bit obscure for non specialists.

No worries the whole concept of parthenogenesis is a really obscure and obtuse one.

Here's a SciShow link that does a really good job of describing it in a less obtuse and confusing way.

Good to know. Didn't expect a serious reply
