#fertilisation
The #Lordosis Position: Beautiful & Natural. A reflexive posture that when we’re in oestrus (heat) perfectly aligns our cervix - the external orifice of our uterus - with the sperm shooting from our man’s ejaculating penis, thus allowing for maximum chance of #fertilisation. #SexPosition #anatomy

I would say I personally draw the line at messing with the egg cell's DNA before fertilisation cause that WILL lead to designer babies. And also banning substances, just because that's an excuse for the state to put people in jail.

This additional generation is called the carposporophyte and develops after fertilisation in intimate association with the female gametophyte (the mother).

Despite decades of speculation, the molecular basis and origins of triphasy remain poorly understood. 3/9

The carposporophyte is also NOT simply a copy of the meiotic spore-producing generation!

It deploys a distinct mix of novel and redeployed gene networks, while it and surrounding maternal tissues undergo extensive, coordinated but distinct transcriptional changes after fertilisation. 6/9

You’re right that in rare cases male mitochondria are passed on. The rest of your statement is wrong. Male mitochondria are not found in the head of the sperm, so they rarely enter the egg during fertilisation.

Good fertilisation in Perspective 😏😜

Yes, I have considered the possibility that they might just be praying to avoid fertilisation, which could take as long as a few days. Or to prevent uterine implantation (which is arguably, in US law, abortion).

Worth taking in the context of sex education not being particularly educational in conservative religious communities so you can’t look at it from a "why would this avoid fertilisation or cause an abortion?"
My friends mum fell pregnant at 15/16 because of living in that kind of community.

Some excellent presentations @histmat.bsky.social today and yesterday. Very necessary cross fertilisation of ideas through discussion, debate and one-to-one chats. Broad range of expertise (including geographically). Very impressive (PhD) researchers coming through.

Thanks for the maps!
It's odd that gains from accelerated CO2 fertilisation since 2000 + gains from ever longer growth seasons
do balance the enemies' attacks and keep a stagnant net uptake of 9.2Gt/yr.
The absence of a decline trend (or increase) and the balance, they both feel unnatural to me.

Land sink is a stagnant 9.2Gt/yr since 2000.
The demise is the absence of growth in 25 years, despite more & accelerated CO2 fertilisation, and despite ever longer growth seasons.
Undisputable both gain factors are, they merely balance an enemy that hinders net growth and will cause net loss soon.

Fun fact: corals have different reproduction methods: asexual, internal fertilisation,& broadcast spawning—massive synchronised gamete release sometimes with near 0 % fertilisation success

If females were choosing males based on “attractive” compounds, we expected them to settle near those males, or bias fertilisation towards them. They didn’t. Females mostly chose good places to live, and reproduced *mainly* with resident males. Forget the perfume. They want the villa with a pool.

It seems that the ukrainians have underestimated their own fertilisation skills.
The Economist now estimates that the Russians have potentially lost up to 2.1 million soldiers during Putin's special military operation in Ukraine.

Menstrual Cycle: Phases and Hormonal Regulation
1. Menstrual Cycle: An Overview of Reproductive Changes The Menstrual Cycle is a coordinated series of physiological and hormonal changes that occur in the female reproductive system during the reproductive years. These changes involve the ovaries, uterus, hypothalamus and pituitary gland. Their combined activities prepare the reproductive system for the possibility of fertilisation and pregnancy. The Menstrual Cycle involves the periodic development of ovarian follicles, the release of an oocyte through ovulation and changes in the uterine endometrium.

The noise & air-pollution aside, that garden so desperately needs the fertilisation the trees naturally provide, and it's utterly obliterated on purpose.

Hurts my soul.
