I haven't watched all of your podcasts but, when I watch, I am so pleased how you have Corry being an information source but all three of you (Including Corry) struggle to achieve common understanding. The gift and curse of biological and psychological topics is that you learn that there are few absolutes - always complications, differences and exceptions from a general rule. Corry shows the essence of scientific thinking - the fascination with confusion, not knowing and exploration. This leads to hypotheses and then these can be experimentally examined to result in refutation or support of the hypotheses. Corry is a good educator, giving good information but also readily admitting when he doesn't have the answers. Well done! Many science teachers (and curriculum pressures) turn people off science.
Corry, downs is trisomy 21 :). Other common “3 copies” are: trisomy 18 or Edwards syndrome and trisomy 13 or Patau syndrome. Hope this helps! I absolutely love these podcasts every time x
Also there are many trisomy conditions but there is only one monosomy condition that exists in live births/is the only non lethal monosomy. It’s called turners syndrome, 45X or monosomy X
The question at 27:10 from Luke, the assumption sounds as if it's based in a view that every species independently evolved. Many species, including humans, inherited sexual reproduction far at the beginning of the evolutionary tree back to organisms that represent the in-between like earthworms. It's less every organism was once able to reproduce asexually and developed sexual reproduction, more the species prior to complex sexually reproducing ones inherited it from evolutionary ancestors gradually. (hope that made sense)
Fungi sex is mindbogglingly weird and confusing! I've tried to learn about it a couple of times now but its just too much, I cant keep track of it all.
Idk if this is a good enough topic but I'd love to watch a whole episode on the platypus. They're basically the exception to every rule and they're so weird lol
Genetics are all sorts of strange. My brother is 5 years to the day younger than me but we get perceived as twins. We look too similar minus the gender differences and he often gets referred to being older than me.
a good thing i learned in school is that meiosis is simple to us, portuguese speakers, because "meio" means half, so, meiosis is the halvening of the gametes sorry for my broken english
My understanding of frogs is that the male clings onto the females back and as she lays all her eggs the male fertilises them. I often used to find frogs 'piggy backing' in ponds when I was younger. Sometimes more than 2 (frog threesome hehe)
I am incredibly late to this, but I wanted to ask about the evolution from asexual to sexual reproduction. Would it be a possibility that evolution would go from asexual, to sexual, and then eventually back to asexual? Kind of like a rotation? Also, from what I learned when I took my bio courses, a lot of genetic variances that we see as impossible, it’s not always that it isn’t possible, but it’s more that the fetus can’t keep developing with the combination of genes present. So it wasn’t that it never happens, the fetuses that have them though miscarry.

THAT’S IT!
Sci Guys you’re most welcome.

I do love Corry’s man bun
Corry looks so exited

The jokes in this episode are on a different level tho 🤣 🤦♂️

OH YEAH IVE BEEN COUNTING DOWN THE WEEKS
Of course this is episode 69
Just found this podcast and as a biology student I love it!!

This is what we all needed
Loads of reptiles are viviparous and oviviparous!
Corry with stache and manbun is incredibly hot
I thought Corry cut his hair😅 glad to see that's not the case👌
I love you guys ❤💙
oviviparity can also be in retiles eg. most boa species, garter snakes :)
Finishing up online summer classes while watching this
'often I imagine my xes cut in half' BRO CALM DOWN XD
I learned more from this video that 4 years of highscool biology xdd
Hahhah funny number
I’m an identical twin and we look very different
nice
What part of budding can't be done at larger sizes?
I am an asexual listening to this because I wanna understand allos
Update: I don't understand allos at all still
55:00 CRAZY FROG DOESN'T HAVE A D? WHAT?
Chirp chirp
Nice
Haha 69

If episode 69 is about sex then should we look forward to episode 420?
44:50 but trans women.... They can be moms and give y chromosomes
44:50 2 trans parents?
Or like in “Orphan black” where the mom is a chimera and they artificially took both her male and female chromosomes to make clones.
nice
Eve Mirmelli hi!!
Andrew Harron hey!
Nice
