Scientists reveal how an all-female fish has cloned itself for years

Scientists revealed how Amazon Molly, an asexual all-female species of fish, has been cloning itself for years. As per evolutionary theory, a species needs to have some sexual activity to keep genes diverse. However, the secret behind Amazon Molly's existence is gene conversion, which works by replacing a segment of chromosomal DNA with a corresponding sequence copied from another chromosome.
