Didymus 34,380 Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 You might wanna just add some important passages next time."According to a new study in fruit flies, not only does same-s-x s-xual behavior seem to be heritable, but females with a genetic makeup associated with this trait actually display higher reproductive rates, which is an evolutionary advantage.""This suggests that genes associated with SSB could be persisting in the population because they actually confer a fitness advantage in females, despite being reproductively harmful to males."So basically genes associated with homos-xuality give an advantage to females, which is the only reason it survived, which would've been impossible if it didn't have this advantage anywhere.

JustPokeHerFace 2,564 Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 Does this apply to humans as well? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Didymus 34,380 Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 Does this apply to humans as well? Fruit flies and humans share about 60% of DNA, so it's more than likely. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supersonic 49,376 Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 I meant if two women could produce babies It is possible indeed. But the technology to achieve that is still very expensive and experimental. Some years ago scientists were able to extract the DNA out of a female egg cell (from a mouse), implanted it into an artificial sperm cell membrane and successfully fertilized another female egg cell with it.

uo111 5,282 Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 Fruit flies and humans share about 60% of DNA, so it's more than likely.Most things share a lot of DNA, considering most DNA is repetitive sequences. Sharing 60% is very very far removed evolutionary speaking. Humans share ~50% of their DNA with banana's, after all. This does imply that homos-xuality is good for every species in which it is observed in some way. It doesn't speak to why it is good for any species except fruit flies (and their close relatives), however. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
