Pop Culture Frenzy: Round 6

Welcome once again to Pop Culture Frenzy.  Here we are in Round 6.  Now our question.




Hostmaster: Scientists have recently discovered a "facebook chromosome" in fire ants.  What is a facebook chromosome?

Cyndi?



 Well, ants are very social so they LIKE facebook.



Hostmaster:  uh huh.
Molly?



 Fire ants are looking to infest in new areas. 
Social networking is one avenue they are
 pursuing to increase their exposure.




Hostmaster:  incorrect.
Fluffy?


   
 The facebook chromosome tells the ants where they are in
 the social order, such as drones vs queen?
 
 
 
Hostmaster:  close.  Bryan?
 
 
The facebook gene determines whether the colony has one
 queen or several.  The drones can tell who
 the queen is, or are- if there are more than one, by smell.
  Also the drone's ananomy, you know, his
 penis, fits only in the correct queen. 
He can't mate with a queen from a different colony
because his penis won't fit.  It's like a key and lock. 
 
 
 
Hostmaster:  correct.  This is the end of Round 6.  
 
 
Round 6 
Fluffy/Molly    3
Bryan/Cyndi    3
 
 
 
 
 I don't like that facebook has become so sexualized.
