Scientists from the University of Edinburgh think the Amazon Molly may be employing special genetic survival "tricks" to avoid becoming extinct.
</P><P>
The species, found in Texas and Mexico, interacts with males of other species to trigger its reproduction process.
</P><P>
The offspring are clones of their mother and do not inherit any of the male's DNA.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/scotland/edinburgh_and_east/7360770.stm">
