This Week on Quirks & Quarks we are calling our feature item,
"The Procreation Paradox: Why We Have Sex."
Birds do it, bees do it, heaven knows that we do it - but nobody really
knows why. Sex is central to almost all life on the planet. But for
biologists, why we have sex remains a big mystery. The answer may seem
obvious - but in fact, there are other perfectly viable ways to
reproduce without sex. So scientists are searching for the reasons why
the majority of animals and plants do it.
Plus - the ABC's of BSE ....
All this and more on Quirks & Quarks, Saturday right after the noon
news on Radio One.
