One dandelion seed in your yard produces thousands of dandelion seeds that are each genetically identical and spread exponentially, explains Nolan Kane, a genomics professor at the University of Colorado Boulder. I was about to point out how stupid the genomics professor was for not knowing that the chromosomes from the pollen and ova mix and that this would mean that each seed was different. But before I posted I found out that almost all dandelions in North America are asexual and reproduce through parthenogenesis. This counts as the something new I learned today - dandelions aren't heterosexual.
