Sperm Patterns Determine Zebra Striping Patterns
A new study has found that the stripes of a zebra could be determined by the pattern of its father’s sperm. Scientists at the University of Exeter have discovered that the pattern of the sperm’s centrioles could be responsible for the formation of stripes on a zebra’s coat. This new research could lead to a better understanding of how zebra stripes form and why certain patterns appear in nature. It could even help us to predict the patterns of future generations. This is an exciting breakthrough in the understanding of the natural world and could help us to better protect and preserve the magnificent zebra.
