I’m taking AP biology and we’re learning about genetic recombinations in bacteria. One way that bacteria can achieve genetic diversity is conjugation, or “bacteria sex.” The are joined by a sex pilli. My dad walks into my room and it just happened that I was looking at my teacher’s conjugation slide that included the word sex pilli. My dad takes a quick glimpse and exclaims:
dad: “WHA! SEX? WHAT IS THIS?”
me: “dad, this is AP bio, the word sex does come up.”
