I mean I understand why, but it just seems weird calling them mating cycles
Yeah but i guess you also call the connectors male and female, so its just lore accurate lol
Follow-up question:
Do we still consider the cycles successful if they successfully... "connect" but they don't produce offspring?
I would equate "offspring" with "conduction of electricity" so no, that would not be considered successful if its only seated but not electrically connected.
If long protein chains have been exchanged I'd say it's a success
If you can think of a simpler way I'd like to hear it
