earthworms have a gestation period that takes just about an entire lifetime, but when they do hatch their young, they are born 50 at a time. The average weight of an earthworm is 5 grams. Many different animals prey on earthworms, which is one reason why they spend so much time ...
Oogenesis is a process by which a female produces an egg (ovum) in the ovaries. The process involves mitosis and meiotic divisions. the primordial cells divide to produce many primary oocytes. One of the primary oocytes on the onset of puberty dominates in growth and undergoes meiosis I to ...

Studies of tooth growth in Lyuba reveal her gestation period (like living elephants, ~22 months), season of birth (early spring), and age at death (~1 month), among other information. Here we can see the right ear, which was gnawed off along with the tail by dogs of the reindeer her...
For fertilization to take place, why must sexual intercourse take place in the period that starts two days before and ends one day after ovulation? What is ovulation? a. The implantation of the oocyte into the endometrium. b. T...
The frustration naturally ramps up the more one invests in helping documentaries through their gestation period. I’m sure it’s very frustrating and stressful for TV makers, too, to spend days or months on a project and then have the rug pulled out from under them by those on high. Hopef...
Gestation period: 121.7 days Rank: order Let’s dine with them… Being a mammal they are not so choosy about what they want to feed on and so they choose both plants and animals rather insects for their appetitiary satisfaction which makes them a complete omnivorous in nature. ...
The numbers at the bottom are museum specimen numbers. At about the moment I’m posting this, our Nature paper (our more formal page here, and the actual article here) embargo is ending, drawing a 14+ year gestation to a close. The paper is about how dinosaur 3D body shape changed ...
Hedgehogs, while also primarily insectivores, have a diverse diet that includes insects, snails, frogs, and even small vertebrates. 12 Reproduction differs as well; Porcupines have a longer gestation period and usually give birth to one offspring at a time. Hedgehogs tend to have shorter ...
A major challenge for reproductive biologists is the development of novel strategies to improve cloning efficiency. Even in species for which cloning is relatively successful, like cattle, the efficiency is still unacceptably low. In this review article
