TRANSGRESSIVE PHENOTYPES. "Interspecific hybridization and allopolyploidy provide the opportunity for new, transgressive characters to evolve. Transgressive characters can be observed at all levels from the transcriptome to inflorescence morphology and may arise through novel cis-trans interactions in the genome or by 'mixing and matching' of different metabolic pathways found in the parents." https://genomebiology.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/gb-2013-14-6-207 View in LinkedIn

LEAKY SPECIES BARRIER. "Interspecific hybridization can generate a large range of characters in hybrids, including intermediate characters and potentially characters that fall outside the range found in the parents (transgressive characters). Hybrids usually backcross to one or both of the parents, providing gene flow between species." https://lnkd.in/dHD-ddW View in LinkedIn

METAZOAN FISSION. “A few metazoan (multicellular) species regularly undergo a body division into several units simultaneously, a process called fragmentation. Planarian fission and fragmentation generally represent direct reproduction in which each portion regenerates missing parts to become a complete new animal. Strobilation products, however, are only indirectly reproductive: proglottids are not regenerative but carry and release great numbers of eggs and die; ephyrae do not produce new polyps but mature into sexually reproducing medusae, the larvae of which become polyps.” https://lnkd.in/dkDex6F View in LinkedIn

CYTOPLASMIC FISSION. "Stanieria never undergoes binary fission. As it grows, the cellular DNA is replicated over and over, and the cell produces a thick extracellular matrix. The vegetative cell eventually transitions into a reproductive phase where it undergoes a rapid succession of cytoplasmic fissions to produce dozens or even hundreds of baeocytes." https://lnkd.in/eqsJf6Q View in LinkedIn

FILTER FEEDING TUNICATE BUDDING. “The development of budlets, buds and adult zooids in a colony is synchronized, and various developmental phases can be identified during the colonial blastogenetic cycle. Phases are univocally defined by the developmental stages of the three blastogenetic generations.” https://lnkd.in/eT3SfW4 View in LinkedIn
