Edited the title to make the joke more clear

Damn, even gender is class conflict 😔
always has been
Algae: Fuck it. I’m In.
lmao at “(n? or 2n?)”. Whoever made this was probably ripping their hair out wondering why nobody’s karyotyped these
this was designed to be hard to understand 😣
Republicans: Your gender better match your biological sex assigned at birth!
Pretty much anything other than animals (and even some animals) :
n seems to be the number of genetic contributors. They use a “n?” when it gets confusing to roll over to the next generation. Otherwise, it’d be 2^(number of generations). The whole thing is goofy
n is the ploidy at any given point in the lifecycle. in animals we have haploid and diploid. Other branches of the tree of life get far far more creative. even within animalia I think some ants and maybe other species maybe have some variations on this? Some zoo person would need to clear that up. Im not interested in animals.
the “I guess I’ll die meme” is a reference to the fact that at least this species of Porphyria , which is a relative of the algae used in seaweed, it’s not even clear what the ploidy is or even if it’s consistent in that life phase. So when people get hung up about sex and gender, it’s like, my brother in christ, not even ploidy is necessarily consistent and you want to make claims about the scientific basis of sex and gender?
It’s can be confusing, but any undergraduate botanist has learned possibly hundreds of these diagrams and be able to think section some Porphyria to identify a gametangium. That’s just table stakes for understanding the actual complexity of life in this planet.
n identifies if the particular stage is haploid or diploid (has one or two copies of chromosomes).
Forgotten what n? signifies exactly, I want to say it’s a mixed stage? It’s been ages since I studied Marine Biology.
n is the ploidy. In animals I think it’s pretty consistent. Far from the case once you get to the actually interesting branches of the tree of life.
that makes more sense. I’m not a marine biologist, so I was just going off of my basic understanding. like I said, diagrams like these are often needlessly complicated to understand
