Scientists Find the Key to Virgin Birth and Enable it in Female Flies

Biology, Genetics /

Scientists have made a groundbreaking discovery by identifying the genetic cause of virgin birth in an unexpected species, the fruit fly ”Drosophila melanogaster”. Once this ability is activated in a female fruit fly, it can be inherited by successive generations. In this process, females can reproduce either sexually with the presence of males or through
