团藻

We have succeeded in the culture of this organism in the laboratory.

所用的培养基为经改良的一个团藻培养基配方。

Apparently, a mutation in this gene—or, more probably, in the control system that activates it—gave rise to Volvox.

显然这种基因的突变——或者可能是激活基因的调节系统的突变——出现在了团藻中。

Apparently, a mutation in this gene—or, more probably, in the control system that activates it—gave rise to Volvox.

显然这个基因的突变，或更可能是激活这个基因的控制机制的突变产生了团藻。

Colony A body form in which many cells with similar form and function are grouped together, as in many algae, e.g. Volvox.

群体：由相同类型和功能的细胞组成的生物体，在许多藻类中存在，例如团藻。

The gene that stops the body cells of Volvox reproducing is called regA.

阻止团藻的体细胞生殖的基因叫regA。

Clearly, Volvox evolved from similar algae that exist only as single cells, but until now the genetics of the process have been obscure.

显然团藻是从类似的只有单个细胞的藻类进化来的，但这个进化过程的遗传学机理迄今为止还不清楚。

Clearly, Volvox evolved from similar algae that exist only as single cells, but until now the genetics of the process have been obscure.

毫无疑问团藻是由类似的只以单细胞形式存在的藻类进化而来，但直到现在这一过程的遗传学原理依然模糊不清。

The gene that stops the body cells of Volvox reproducing is called regA.

阻止团藻体细胞分化的基因叫做 regA 。

One creature that has managed the trick—separately from plants, animals and fungi, who are the real experts in the field—is an alga called Volvox carteri.

有一种生物成功做到了这些，它们是从植物、动物和真菌中分离出来的这一领域的真正专家——一种叫团藻Volvox carteri的藻类。

What genetic change allowed multicellular animals to come into existence remains obscure. But Volvox shows the sort of thing to look for: a gene that stops reproduction in single-celled creatures and has been co-opted to do a new job.

究竟是什么样的遗传学变化使多细胞动物来到这个世界上仍是一个谜，但团藻为人们指出了一条路：一个阻止单细胞生物繁殖并指派给它另一个工作的基因。

Plunder melds and run with this jewel!

掠夺melds和运行与此宝石！

My dream is to be a crazy growing tree and extend at the edge between the city and the forest.

此刻，也许正是在通往天国的路上，我体验着这白色的晕旋。
