Translations:Codex: Ganrael (Non-Silly Mode)/14/en

Ganrael who do not acquire enough DNA from one partner seek another, and when denied access to gametes will collect and use other, non-germ cells. These occurrences should theoretically result in a significant number of triploid and polyploid ganrael. It’s currently unknown how or even if individuals with odd chromosome numbers prevent aneuploidy during reproduction, but theories have been proposed whereby ganrael are unable to divide until their total number of chromosomes are evenly paired, are able to identify and splice compatible donor DNA directly into their own via a hitherto unidentified enzyme, or have some other redundancy that prevents aneuploid cells from resulting in a defective organism. The ‘even pairs’ theory would suggest a sharp increase in the number of chromosomes over time which has not been observed, and has not been widely accepted for this reason.
