Talk:Kimera (species)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Asexual reproduction

"Whereas the Taelons are confirmed as asexual (as far as the word can apply), seeming to have only one parent each (indicating that their reproduction is dissimilar to that of single-celled organisms), the Kimera seem to require two individuals to mate for reproduction." If an individual has only one parent and reproduces by fission or budding, then such reproduction is similar to that of single-celled organisms. This statement is, therefore, internally inconsistent, or at least unclear, and should be rewritten. Kelly Martin 13:46, August 22, 2005 (UTC)

Not what I meant - the taelons are rather individual. They form descendants, rather than sister organisms. I'll rephrase, but it is accurate. Tim Morgan 25 August 06
