ellebannA187 (1:36:09 PM): by making lots and lots of gametes and hoping on of them makes it, and each gamete has less energy applied to it's creation
Marc 32155 (1:40:20 PM): Ah ha
ellebannA187 (1:36:50 PM): Female gametes on the other hand, attribute all of it's reproductive energy into one ginormous, more stable and higher efficiency one

The book is called The Selfish Gene and in short it's about the meaning of life. Ha. I'm very tempted to buy it. God I love my Environmental Class. If I fail at engineering, I'm going to be a tree hugger [not really], environmental science geek. <3!
