Sex Determination: More Complicated Than You Thought

From something as small and complex as a chromosome to something as seemingly simple as the weather, sex determination systems vary significantly across the animal kingdom. Biologist and teacher Aaron Reedy shows us the amazing differences between species when it comes to determination of gender.

My insights about this videos
-Male social insects are walking sperms
-Turtles have hot chic and cool dudes
-Desert lizards are Amazons
-Finding Nemo is a lie
-For an aquatic invertebrate, if you're on the top you are a male. If you are in the bottom, you're a female.
-If somebody ask the gender of your unborn kids, just say yes

Thank me later

Wait a second. Nemo's mom died. Meaning Nemo's dad would then become Nemo's mom.... And then one of Nemo's friends would become hist stepdad. And then Nemo would become female. Disney is screwed up...
