Could you provide a reference on the claim that HeLa engages in sexual reproduction? I cannot find anything about that online.

- Retric 2y agoIt doesn’t, sorry for being unclear I cut out a big chunk of the comment and left that bit hanging. I had a bit about horizontal gene transfer being more common on closely related organisms which somewhat maintains the idea of species in a single non sexual world, but it wasn’t worth going into. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horizontal_gene_transfer https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horizontal_gene_transfer
