It’s just a lot of copies of the same information. Not very efficient.
The dna sequence of each sperm is actually unique, and are thus not considered part of your body according to your immune system. This is why your testes are “immune-privileged”, meaning your white blood cells are not allowed in there.
So not just inefficient but also insecure? Who designed this crap?
Sexual reproduction is designed for variation. You can reduce it with a large amount of inbreeding. Your family, for example.

My mom, my dad, my aunt and my uncle are going to beat you up! The two of them are really strong!

crazy. yeah it makes sense on second thought, i guess, like there’s some fuckery with the immune system of the mother not entering a child in the womb or sth. yeah it makes sense that that applies for sperm too. then, i wonder, what keeps infections at bay?
I’m not sure. I’ll have to look it up
They’re just trying to get a point across.
Top Redundancy
It’s not even. The data integrity algorithm is really kind of crap.
That’s why I always call it a packet storm. “Girl, I’m about to DDOS that booty.”
This calculation is off by an order of magnitude.
The human genome has about 3.1 billion base pairs. Each sperm has half of that. Ignoring epigenetics, each base pair has four options (A/T/C/G), so it can be represented by two bits each.
All told, that’s 3.1 gigabits = 388 megabytes per gamete.
Down load.
So if I jerk off, I could use that to store porn, thus making me jerk off more, thus providing more porn storage…
This is why a big…hard…drive is important.
Trump enters the chat
Does he have to? In every single thread?
Sorry but he’s got a thirst
How do they calculate that?
Pff I’d be happy to reach a megabit at my age.
Wouldn’t quaternary storage need a different naming scheme?
Not that much information, but a lot of redundancy. Every sperm carries the same X or Y-Chromosome. So every sperm contains the same information as half of the other sperm. Or did I miss something?
You missed like, a huge amount. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meiosis
Thank you, didn’t know that
