I just wonder why, in all the romances, you immediately jump from smalltalk to sex. what is up with that? for tali it makes a bit of sense, she cant leave the suit, but do you never have dinner? or just look through one of the windows together at the vastness of space?
also, what is the specific reason that quarians are humans cannot reproduce?
Their DNA is the exact opposite, what's on the right for humans is on the left for Quarians. This means their amino acids are totally different and make reproduction impossible.
That explanation doesn't make much sense, both pairs can be set both directions in humans, so why wouldnt they combine normally? The problem is probably that they have other than 46 chromasomes, or genes are located in a different area of the chromasome
No, it's about chirality in biology, especially in aminoacids (and not DNA pairs). There's only left chirality on Earth. Quarians have right chirality.
This has been debated at length around pages 400 of the thread.
In any case, see
http://en.wikipedia....ity_(chemistry) for a not very clear description; especially this passage: "Most scientists believe that Earth life's "choice" of chirality was purely random, and that if carbon-based life forms exist elsewhere in the universe, their chemistry could theoretically have opposite chirality".
In any case: Tali for ME3!!
EDIT: corrected left/right swap, sorry.
