Submitted for further evidence to support and/or refine these hypotheses. From Janjie’s et al. abstract:
Fact 1:
“HAP2 is essential for membrane merger”

Fact 2:

“yet Chlamydomonas minus and Plasmodium hap2 male gametes retain the ability, using other, species-limited proteins, to form tight prefusion membrane attachments with their respective gamete partners.”

From these facts and the ID paradigm, following are two proposed ID hypothesis to pursue (as posited by a design engineer):

ID hypothesis 1: The membrane merger including HAP2 essential for such “male”-”female” cell merger are irreducibly complex.

ID hypothesis 2: This “male”-”female”protein & docking site are part of a species specific reproduction – barrier system that is a species specific irreducibly complex system.

Submitted for further evidence to support and/or refine these hypotheses.
