We got to have humor in science. Which is why I think my chem teachers were so crazy. Without humor I think the whole aspect of studying something so complex would make us go insane. Thank you for your replies guys. :wink: :smile:
In my Biology II AP class we were watching this video on evolution and one thing came up in which a doctor, whose name I forget, linked HIV to evolution. Now I don't know how much of a stretch or news this is to anyone but I'll share it nonetheless. In a person's body that has HIV the virus...
Cancer and Evolution Part II-Cyclin Dependent Kinases and the RB protein.
For the past weeks I have been speculating on the causes of cancer by reading up on cell division, DNA replication, and genetics and I have come to find that there is no easy way of approaching a way to write a paper on...
Here's an amazing book I use for my AP Biology II class. It's very descriptive with amazing illustrations. Life The Science of Biology Seventh Edition by Purves, Sadava, Orians, and Heller.
Hey everyone. For my Biology II AP class we were assigned a project in which we have to basically write a term paper on a subject relating to evolution. I asked my teacher whether cancer was tied to evolution in any way and he said there is a possibility. I just have no clue where to start. If...
A discussion came to surface in my Biology II AP class about heredity and sex linked characteristics. Now with a female carrying two X gametes and a male containing an X and Y gamete, males are more prone to inherit sex linked characteristics such as red-green color blindness and hemophilia. The...
Cells and their membranes-the lock and key
So in biology we were discussing cell membranes and the effects and processes viruses impose on the cell. Take lytic infection for example-in basic terms attaching to the cell, using one of the cells protein channels in the phospholipid bilayer and...
If you were to get cancer from eating a cancerous fish it would not be from the cancer cells of the fish but more to the extent to which phobos and matthyaouw said. The reason for this is that the cells of the fish undergoing mutations are not of your body and therefore upon entry will be...
If anyone has read my posts you are probably aware that I take a great interest in cell and cancer biology. So for my next question I want to ask about cancer once again. Now from reading different books and viewing different sites I have come to learn of cancers of the neck, head, bone, muscle...
Hey everyone. I have a big favor to ask any of you willing to answer. My mother's friend's husband had what looked like a pimple on his face but it never healed. Under the suggestion of his wife he went to the dermatologist and he said it could be one of two things. It could be good or very...
