鲨鱼的单性生殖得到证实 Shark's virgin birth confirmed
这个故事听起来可能有些亵渎神灵，但是科学家利用DNA测验，证明一只雌大西洋黑鳍鲨(Atlantic blacktip shark)是在没有雄性鲨鱼的情况下怀孕的。这是第二个可证明鲨鱼具有无性生殖，或者称单性生殖能力的实例。这次“单性生殖”事件发生在维吉尼亚水族馆和海洋科学中心。
It may sound sacrilegious, but scientists used DNA tests to prove that the progeny of a female Atlantic blacktip shark was conceived without the aid of a male. This is the second documented case of asexual reproduction, or parthenogenesis, in a shark species. Aptly enough, the "virgin birth" took place at the Virginia Aquarium & Marine Science Center.
