• Science News / Women's Chromosome Division Different From Men's: Humans are the only species known to have a high rate of error in the number of chromosomes they pass along, Hassold says. About 25 percent of all fertilized human eggs have the wrong number of chromosomes, he says. ?It?s a major problem and it?s only getting worse? as more older women have children, he adds. Such genetic mistakes happen more often after about age 35 [...] The error-prone recombination process in women may have some evolutionary advantage, the researchers say, but they don?t know yet what that might be. Warren suggests that one advantage of high rates of chromosomal mistakes is to help keep human family sizes small. Smaller families could allow parents to focus more attention and resources on offspring, increasing survival.
