Independent origin of genomic imprinting in placental fish
Genomic imprinting results in biased expression of one parental allele. Such non-Mendelian expression occurs in angiosperms and placental mammals, which share having an active paternal genome during m...

Each flowerpot snake is born from an unfertilized egg via "premeiotic endoreplication". She's a genetic clone of her mother. We call this 'parthenogenesis'.
And each cell in her body will have *3* copies of her genome, which is very unusual.
What we think happened: about 41 million years ago...
