First, don't mix fact with fiction. Progenation means simply: to have children. Parthenogenesis on the other hand, is the result of a natural virgin birth. The WHO program referred to the possibility of taking a cell and its DNA, isolating the haploids and combining them into a viable egg. With Dr Who (a kids program), and after a little bit of artist licence and TV studio magic, you get you get mixed up science along the lines off; voilà: ze doctor 'as a neo daughter, who cumzi out of de boxy with eyeliner and make-up already on. Who I might add, looks nothing like a true Gallifreyan (like her supposed farther) because as we all know, the inhabitance of Gallifrey (before the Daleks killed them off) all had dark blue hair and and dark blue eyes.--

Arrrh! Phoenix is a mythological analogy and Dr Who is a kids program. Put this on the WP science desk for a better explanation of
Doubled haploidy .

In
this video there are 2 classical melodies I wish to know.
The first is played at 1:38–2:28 and the second at 4:14–4:55 (and also, interruptedly, from 4:03).
The melodies weren't composed especially for the video (which shows a short film but with a soundtrack by the uploader of the video. These melodies are not a part of the film's original score). Can you recognize them?
Today I actually wanted to extend the question and ask for the name of the melody at the beginning, so thanks again for recognizing it as well! The melody at 3:09 is also beautiful.

Excellent work Jack. FYI a couple of those works show up in the fun and delightful Allegro Non Troppo by
Bruno Bozzetto. Medeis your choice is one of my fave works by Antonio. It was played with the opening credits of CBS Morning News when I was young and I have heard it accompanied by the lute and several other instruments but IMO it sounds best with the guitar. It pops up in the John Wayne film The Cowboys when Robert Carradine's character Slim is asked what it is he replies "Some guy named Vivaldi wrote it" and gets the reply "It's kinda pretty."
