UTA study: Asexual reproduction causes dangerous genetic mutations

Image
A team led by biologists at The University of Texas at Arlington has published a study that supports the theory that species that reproduce asexually have more harmful genetic mutations than those that use sexual reproduction. Jose Maldonado, a UTA doctoral student in biology, is the lead author of the new paper, entitled “Parthenogenesis doubles the level of amino acid substitution in whiptail mitochondria.” It was published in May in Evolution, the flagship journal of evolutionary biology. Co-authors include TJ Firneno, a postdoctoral research fellow at the University of Denver who received his Ph.D. from UTA in 2020; Alexander Hall, product application specialist at Thermo Fisher Scientific who received his Ph.D. from UTA in 2016; and Matt Fujita, UTA professor of biology, who is Maldonado’s faculty advisor and previously served in the same role for Firneno and Hall. Parthenogenesis is a natural form of asexual reproduction in which the growth and development of an embryo occur

While bull riding may be one of the most dangerous sports in the world, 13-year-old Bonnie Milgate, from Mareeba isn’t worried about climbing over a few hundred kilogram bulls and surviving a lifetime. Key points: In children riding a bull under the age of 14 riding a mini bull Riders aged 14 to 18 ride a junior bull selected for its temperament and size All riders under the age of 18 must wear a full-face helmet and protective vest Bonnie, who attends Saint Stephens in Mareeba, has been riding a bull competitively for the past 12 months and first became interested in bull riding after seeing her brother and father compete. “I grew up watching my brother do it, which inspired me to try it and it was a lot of fun,” she said. “I really enjoy the adrenaline and when you ride [to the minimum riding] that time was like no other.” Bonnie is often the only female competitor and over the last 12 months she has ridden in more than 15 competitions.

A patient underwent liposuction on her thighs, abdomen and pelvis as well as fat transfer to her breasts with Wells in August 2021. She said the procedure left her legs deformed and had pain in her legs, poor circulation and she had seromas in her body. breast pain. Clockwise from left: In stills from the video, Dr Ryan Wells chases a fly during the procedure; patients who are not happy with the results of liposuction; Dr. Wells removes fat from patients; and body fluids and fat are collected during the procedure. A class action proposed by Maddens Attorney for each patient from Wells, Lanzer and other colleagues has registered more than 500 patients. The legal action accuses doctors of engaging in misleading and deceptive behavior. Doctors defended the move. Kathy Hubble joins the Maddens class action. She had two liposuction procedures in 2018: the first by Lanzer, who did her legs, and the second by Wells, who did her abs. He said it left him with chronic pain in his stomach
