An hourglass figure, plus youthfulness, would have attracted male hominids looking for mating opportunity3.
Jamming diagram is useful for considering a mechanical successful condition of mating [1].
Animals can be fertilized after mating [23],[23].
Last, we compared Cre efficiency in a disease model by mating Nphs2pod.T2A.ciCre.T2A.mTomato/wild-type and hNphs2.Cre mice to Phb2fl/fl mice.
A female can kill a male either before, during, or after mating [1], [2].
In vertebrates and invertebrates, many molecules perceived by olfactory and gustatory systems influence various behaviours including courtship and mating [1].
However, recent studies have shown that sperm production is costly, and males can become sperm depleted (i.e. functionally sterile) at least for some period of time after mating [1], [2], [3].
To produce Ate1flox/− CaggCreER mice, we mated Ate1flox/+ mice with Ate1+/− CaggCreER mice (the latter were generated by mating Ate1+/− with Ate1+/+ CaggCreER mice).
To produce Ate1flox/flox CaggCreER mice, we mated Ate1flox/+ mice with Ate1flox/+ CaggCreER mice (the latter were generated by mating Ate1flox/+ mice with Ate1+/+ CaggCreER mice).
The purified transgene was injected into fertilized F1 eggs obtained by mating B10.PL and C57Bl/6 mice.
