I agree with that interpretation, but I can't russian, so?

and I guess you expect orthologous targets t obe orthologs, but its' not guaranteed
Resonating

beats me. Orthologs are a technical term in evolution

Hmm. Arthropods have "hemolymph" which is kind of like blood and kind of like lymph. I wonder if that counts. Ask about open vs closed circulatory systems and what 'blood' really means

Unless it's about growing them, usually. There's a gardening SE also

well. 'exotic'.

You don't need to do much weirdness to plants to get exotic hybrids

Triangle of U
The triangle of U is a theory about the evolution and relationships between members of the plant genus Brassica. The theory states that the genomes of three ancestral species of Brassica combined to create three of the common modern vegetables and oilseed crop species. It has since been confirmed by studies of DNA and proteins. The theory was first published in 1935 by Woo Jang-choon (Hangeul: 우장춘), a Korean-Japanese botanist who was working in Japan (where his name was Japanized as "Nagaharu U", the Japanese reading of his name). Woo made synthetic hybrids between the diploid and tetraploid species...

That pomato and the pomato with fruits are different pomatoes.

cloning plants is so easy you've done it by accident

If you want to think about the difficulty of working with mammals versus working with plants
Resonating

related plants can just kind of be stuck together and they'll grow ok, the vascular system is simple enough

it's like the '48 citrus' tree or whatever it's called
Resonating

and the 'fries and ketchup plant' isn't a hybrid, it's just a grafted tomato plant on a potato root system

Now if you tried for Sable Antelope/reeve's muntjac

I doubt it. If you were lucky, you could probably get a fused cell to divide twice.

you could get it down to 15 pairs, if my back-of-the-envelope math is correct

well. 'the author isn't an evolutionary biologist and doesn't know the technical vocabulary, so may accidentally say the wrong thing'

My default assumption when reading criticisms of Darwinism is 'eh, the author doesn't get it so they're probably using words unusually'

Actually it might be the beginning of organs. Your guess is a good as mine.

@WYSIWYG I'm super impressed with it even though it is super low budget

@WYSIWYG It would have to be something for which there is no data available at all.

It's so gratifying to post on SE when there's a single bad answer, so you reply with a slightly better answer and get some upvotes, and then someone replies with a slightly better better answer and gets more upvotes even though yours is on top
