The most common form of reproduction in nature is sexual reproduction, in which the germ cells of both sexes are brought together to develop into new individuals. This method has many advantages, such as promoting the spread of favorable genetic mutations within a population, accelerating the evolution of the species, and enhancing the ability of individuals in the population to adapt to their environment, which can be beneficial for the survival of the species.

A second home close at hand? The probe sent back data that the planet is rich in groundwater ice
On the Mauna Loa volcano in Hawaii, USA, there is a habitat and research station HI-SEAS for simulating the environment of the moon and Mars. Here, researchers live and work in this habitat and research station for several days each time. to several months. During the experiment, when researchers leave the research station for "extravehicular" activities, they need to wear heavy simulated space suits to simulate future life and work on the surface of the moon or Mars. Although this research station is only 110 square meters, it can meet the needs of these "astronauts" for living and research work. The reason why these experiments are carried out here is to prepare for future missions to the moon and Mars.

Black holes are arguably one of the most amazing and elusive celestial bodies in the universe so far. From the perspective of the characteristics, formation process and influence of black holes, scientists divide the black holes in the universe into three types, namely, the central black holes of galaxies, the collapsed black holes of massive stars, and the tiny primordial black holes generated at the moment of the Big Bang. In recent decades, astronomers have used various monitoring methods to discover many large black holes at the centers of galaxies, as well as medium-sized black holes formed after the collapse of massive stars at the end of their lives. However, the question of just how small a black hole can be has been a mystery in astrophysics.
