Talarico has suggested he would communicate some of his views differently today, but stood by the principles behind the comments Republicans are using to tar him as an extreme liberal.
Sorry about the correction, but that number isn’t right on two levels.
1: bacteria didn’t have sexes. Sometimes they will exchange plasmids via a direct pilus or will pick up strays in the environment.
2: that number is often cited from a book describing certain slime molds (which aren’t molds) as having that few, when almost every species we found have something in the 100’s. But what I think is cool is that some species of actual fungi have something like 72,000 compatible sexes.
