you could be the first one

After a brief discussion with mi familia, I was drawn to conduct a search on the Z chromosome .. I figured some people would have some ideas written up about it, but I definitely did not expect it to actually exist, or to bring up 36,000 results . Driven further by curiosity, I decided to delve into this enigmatic topic and discover what this apparently not-so-fantastical chromosome is all about . Medicine Net defines it as " a chromosome in certain animals, such as chickens, turkeys, and moths . In humans, males are XY and females XX, but in animals with a Z chromosome, males are ZZ and females are WZ . " W too, eh ? Well that's interesting . But that doesn't give me much information at all . Not wanting to have to dig through all the other sites provided to me, I resolved to take the easy way out and ask my good friend Wikipedia ( which, by the way, could use and certainly deserves a nickname of some variety; as nine letters, no offense Christina, is a little long if we are to be close .. and I don't know anyone who would be better to do without one ) . Wikipedia -- here to be at-least-temporarily referred to as William Shrapnel, a name which I am not entirely sure why I chose because it doesn't necessarily make much sense and it is significantly longer than its name was in the first place, but which I will stick with nonetheless -- tells me that animals such as birds, fishes, and insects actually use this " ZW -determination system " to determine the of their offspring ( hence the plainly straightforward term ) . Who knew ! that birds, fishes, and insects were intelligent enough for this ? Nevertheless, now I see the reason for the two separate systems : in IZW, the ovum determines the of the offspring ( way to be repetitive ), rather than the sperm as in our system, IXY . They simply use different letters so that they can tell them apart ! Silly scientists .. But wait, hold up ! As if that weren't enough, there is more : a third system . IX0, the hermaphroditic system . No kidding . Moving on, what I am more interested in is whether a chromosome from one system can possibly exist in another system -- in a sort of, might I say, interdimensional existence . On one hand, you could say that is like saying that i could exist in the rational number system : it simply cannot, because you are comparing two completely different systems that could not mix if they wanted to . It's like having an immovable pole and an irresistable cannonball in the same dimension : it just does not work . But on the other hand, perhaps the female in a male-determinant system could develop some variety of Neville, some sort of different chromosome that would otherwise be unexpected . It would not necessarily be W, but it could be compared closely . Eh .. maybe I should just leave it be . I believe I understand well enough now, what I was not aware of before . But if you would like to delve further into the topic yourself, that is your problem . Er .. be my guest . Perhaps you will grow up to conduct some rather questionable experiments in your laboratory, like the Hulk's father ( his name escapes my memory ), and perhaps you will unearth the secret to having an immovable pole and irresistable cannon balls . Got 'ems .

Oh yeah,
Agnocure's birthday present ( slash party ? yeah right . ) will be belated this year . I apologize for the inconvenience ( yeah right . ) .
