The evolution of sperm








Sperm competition and the evolution of spermatogenesis




Human Sperm Gene Traced to Dawn of Animal Evolution
By surviving longer and producing more offspring, these individuals are more likely to pass their beneficial genes onto the next generation. Evolution is the change in the genetics of a population over time. Her research interests include sperm morphology in primates and how hybridization interbreeding and genetic admixture between primate species affects sperm in hybrid individuals. In this case, males not only compete with other males of the same species, but also with males from other species!






The Evolution of Sperm Morphology, Part 1: Sperm Competition




Description: This makes the Boule gene "an ideal target," Xu added, for the long-sought male birth control pill. Her hobbies include travel and nature photography, sudoku, raising succulents and her two cats, reading, spoiling her nephew, constantly learning about self-development, and enjoying a good cup of coffee. Publication types Research Support, Non-U. Overall we conclude that adopting an evolutionary perspective can shed light on many otherwise opaque features of spermatogenesis, and help to explain the diversity of ways in which males of different species perform this fundamentally important process. When the scientists "disabled" the gene in lab mice, "boom
