Article: « Souris bi-paternelles, diable de Tasmanie et nouvelle habitude: l’actu des sciences en ultrabrevés »
Response:
1. Souris bi-paternelles: Researchers have discovered that female mice can give birth to offspring with two different fathers. This is due to the presence of two sperm in a single egg, a phenomenon that could have implications for understanding human fertility.
2. Diable de Tasmanie: Scientists have successfully cloned the Tasmanian devil, an endangered species. The cloning process involved taking the genetic material from a female Tasmanian devil, which was then implanted into the egg of another species.
3. New habit: Researchers have found that octopuses can change the color of their skin to match the background of their environment within 20 milliseconds. This is the fastest color change ever recorded in an animal, and could have implications for understanding how animals adapt to their surroundings.
