Please let your cells do the talking.

I prefer meisosis since it creates gametes, which I put to good use :fluffle:

You're nuts. :p

Yeah, I voted for the last one. We fungi are seriously under represented in the world.Sure there are billions of us, but c'mon, we keep getting eaten, or lysoled...where's the love?

Anyway, I have to go die of the poisons I've created in my own environment....

Goodbye cruel world.

(Don't worry, I've got some spores left laying around, I won't technically be going anywhere)

*Falls of chair laughing at geecka*






OW!

In our country fungi are grown in massive fields, for use in radiation eating purposes, and for use as flower ornments. Also for food, but hey, we are growing you by the billions, can't you just give us 90% of your biomass for food, we'll grow more of you..

So, mitosis is great, it keeps us renewable!

Mitosis is a Sin against God. How dare the lot of you support it! Convert and see the Glory of the Lord, and his Righteous Processs, Meiosis!

*shuffles back out of the room*

mmmm.....diploid cells *drool*

My God, it's like a microbiologist orgy in here. I'm sure there's a law against this...

Besides, you have it all wrong. Lets just pass on our plasmids and live in some stromatolites like our prokaryote anscestors did. Come on, it'll be like proto-communism!

Meiosis- I can produce four copies of myself as opposed to two!*

*This requires some effort on my part.

bah! biology's a messy business, why don't we just have factories where machines build machines. wait, no, that's perverted.

Yes, but you'll be half the person you once were...

But boy is it worth it...

Chromosomes are over rated anyway.

Yeah, that's true. Join me in my bacterial paradise, where DNA exists as only loops and plasmids!

*divides alot to go terrorise some poor eukaryote*

BWAH HA!

*runs away after realising this just got waaaay to much*

*Falls of chair laughing at geecka*






OW!


I missed something, didn't I?

I'm asexually dividing as we speak ;)

Cell division - one of the few methods of multiplying by division.

*infects something*

Cell division - one of the few methods of multiplying by division.
who'd want to do that - it's much faster to multiply directly because there's less transistors necessary

How about vegetative reproduction -- having a little "Mini Me" lump'o'flesh growing on my forearm?

Damn all of you eukaryotes. I remember a time when we, the prokaryotes, ruled this earth from our stromatolite kingdoms. Without my cyanobacteria buddies, you multicellular heterotrophs would never have existed. I liked the old days, back in the pre-cambrian, when the phosphates were in short supply and all this were fields...

Please let your cells do the talking.

i'm confused about that last option in your poll. fungii do meisis, well, the kind's that i studies anyways.

I think you're racist.

Who wants asexual reproduction? Sexual is so much more fun!

No way, double the chromosomes means double the weight. Give me a nice thin haploid cell any day.

Yeah, that's true. Join me in my bacterial paradise, where DNA exists as only loops and plasmids!
