polyembryony การใช้

• Though actual parthenogenesis is unknown in mammals, species like armadillos exhibit a limited version called polyembryony.
• A related phenomenon, polyembryony is a process that produces multiple clonal offspring from a single egg cell.
• A more striking example of the use of polyembryony as a competitive reproductive tool is found in the parasitoid Hymenoptera family Encyrtidae.
• It is possible that the monozygotic polyembryony was an adaptation to accommodate for the female s inability to carry more than one egg during the preimplantation stage.
• Polyembryony is a widespread form of asexual reproduction in animals, whereby the fertilized egg or a later stage of embryonic development splits to form genetically identical clones.
• Some species exhibit a remarkable developmental phenomenon called " polyembryony ", in which a single egg multiplies clonally in the host and produces large numbers of identical adult wasps.
• In the article on Armadillos it says they reproduce by Polyembryony in which they typically have 4 babies per litter and they are each genetically identical, like identical twins.
• This is the only reliable manifestation of polyembryony in the class Mammalia, and exists only within the genus " Dasypus " and not in all armadillos, as is commonly believed.
• Members of " Dasypus " are unique among mammals in possessing the reproductive trait of monozygotic polyembryony, meaning their offspring are genetically identical due to the division of a single fertilized egg into four matching embryos.
