homozygotes then?

CSIRO are very good research institution that do research in these genres, food, agriculture and biotech. I am a man for the good old wood fire oven, but having neighbours one has to make a compromise. Generally I have found "taste" to be different from traditional methods of cooking and...

With reference to e.coli AND cyanobacteria is to basically propose a autotrophic bacteria that demonstrats high levels of adaptability. Lol e.coli (enterobacter strains) can't survive in our terrestrial environment for long forget mars. But they were the only examples I could come up with at the...

I have actually seen this guy's book, he is trying to state water is a "living" sentient thing (having no other words to put there). So he says water gives different responses to the various stimuli. My response to his book was "ooo pretty pictures" considering it was written in japanese lol...

Matter is anything that has mass; I think this wave energy thing was written coz the writer did undergrad chemistry. Normally they teach that electrons can display properties of a sin-wave and also demonstrate a particulate nature. Shrodinger did some research on this, if I am not wrong (which I...

consciousness is best studied in chordates rather than neochordates, its a more simplified expression. However as descartes put it that cognition is extremely mechanistic and that animals are also capable of cognition however we, human beings have much more complex features that make the...

Hmm see I am thinking that the whole concept has loopholes, that is why I want to know this concept of "stability" and how energy contributes to it in the atomic model. I hope I am phrasing this coherently because usually these things make sense to me but when I try defining or expressing it...

Well my chemistry lecturers have always explained to me (in introductory chemistry) that most chemical reactions occur due to the components desiring to acquire a more stable state. My high school physics teacher explained to me that when you put metal in fire it heats up and later releases...

Over this semester I studied quite a few physiology and anatomy books ranging from the classics of Gray's anatomy, Last's anat, Guyton & Hall's medical physiology and also Lange's histology and Lange's physiology. A word of advice to any premed student buying or reading from these books...

Oh my, bad science is something I have seen in Gens VII. A lot of inaccuracies in its elucidation of ligand complexes. Normally I'd expect some problems with General chemistry texts but never with biology.The discipline is simple to understand at any level; yet people still tend to make mistakes...

I would say that's psychosis rather than philosophy but hey many things amaze me when I read my philosophy textbook.

D. radiodurans is a very hardy bacteria, I would doubt it would be highly adaptable. Like extreme barophiles I think it is too specialized to adapt. Why not e.coli which is both fermentative (therefore anaerobic) and aerobic. Facultative anaerobes are really good, cyanobacteria would be a good...

hmm good points but in general I don't think philosophy has a unified purpose. To my understanding the more inclusive a definition for the word, the more scope of subjectiveness there is. People nowadays rather than giving well thought of ideas can get away with giving intuitive opinions with no...

F is used as a metabolic inhibitor in several microorganisms. Just the other week we did a study on L.Plantarum and the relative fermentative productivity of it once it was exposed to NaF or Iodoacetamide. The results where that NaF was the more potent inhibitor and basically the little I know...

I personally deem Vogel's to be a standing authority on Pratical organic chemistry, inorganic analysis and the quantitative chemical analysis text is superb. I was told to get Harris (analyt chem) but soon realized after my first course in analyt chem that book will be somewhat useless...
