I appreciate the civility of the first two of your last four posts. I agree with you in that a lot of people want information just handed to them, but that is not what I am asking for. I am not uneducated, I am not a high school kid, and I have done plenty of research and have read all...

The irony of this after posting wiki cut and pastes. If you can't back up what you say just say so, worrying about your "appearance" as an educated person won't cut it.

If that is what you meant in your first post why didn't you say so? You still didn't answer my question though. If cannabis is subdioecious, how can it use an XY system to determine an individual plants sex? You made the assertion that it could, you back it up. The wiki entry you posted says...

Yet you posted a wiki cut/paste. You either did that to "do my homework" or you agreed with me that you should back up what you say with links and pics. I had hoped you did it out of some altruistic feeling welling up inside you, that hope has since faded. I had thought I asked nicely enough...

I appreciate the explanation to the figure I posted on this subject, I thought that figure would be enough for people who needed to see the differences between hermaphrodite, monoecious and dioecious as it applied to cannabis (the topic of this thread). But what I was hoping for in particular...

I see a software program that uses uploaded photos to do "Phenotype Scanning" being more viable to cannabis breeders, at least while cannabis is still illegal. But this kind of process will probably be the standard for named strains in the future. Small time growers using seed banks can only hope.

Correct me if I am wrong (with a link preferably), but if a plant species uses XY to determine sex it cannot be dioecious and monoecious because the Y chromosome carries the primary sexual characteristics of males that are used to make viable male gametes. XX females would not have the required...

So what you are saying is that Cannabis is Diploid (as opposed to the polyploidy of some plants and animals that are hermaphroditic/parthenogenic) like most other multicellular, eukaryotic organism that use sex for reproduction and that no one is sure what genetic mechanism is used to determine...

Another important aspect of science is to know what you are talking about before using what you know to make assumptions. First an allele is just a version of a gene. We all have eye color genes, what allele we have determines our specific eye color (there are multiple genes that control eye...

The reason they would be similar is because you are basically inbreeding identical twins. Because of Meiosis and Crossing Over you would never get genetically identical offspring from self pollination. I would actually call this "Super Inbreeding" because the deleterious effects caused by...

This is an interesting Genotype vs Phenotype argument. I think the two may be getting confused in some instances. Some questions: Not all life forms use specific chromosomes to designate sex, I am almost sure that most don't. So using "XX " or XY" to describe sex genetics in weed could be...
