Sounds like somebody needs to buy a "fake-o-meter".

Nearly every system in the body is a negative feedback loop; there are very few positive feedback loops in the body, and one example of positive feedback is childbirth.

Besides the obvious ethical issues, what exactly is "the perfect genetic sample"? Also, there are already more than enough orphans up for adoption; why would you need to "clone" people specifically for that purpose? And finally, "cloning" isn't as easy as getting some D...

There's a lot more to cells than just "hydrocarbons", and your question is extremely broad. Cells are made of (primarily) protein, carbohydrates and lipids, which are in turn made of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, phosphorous, calcium, and a number of other elements. There are many, m...

I used it and thought it was an excellent book.

Keep a hefty supply of garlic and crosses; you never know what could happen, so always keep protection with you.

There are other microtubule depolymerizing drugs similar to colchicine, like nocodazole and colcemid , that bind free tubulin in a cell and prevent them from adding onto microtubules. I also know of a drug called Brefeldin that interferes with anterograde transport from the endoplasmic reticulum to ...

First off, you have the order mixed up a little. It's the opposite of how they're numbered; electrons move from PSII to PSI, not the other way around. Counterintuitive, I know. Anyway, these electrons come from water. At PSII, a molecule of water is split; one oxygen, two hydrogens; one electron is ...

Aye, I'd definitely agree it's a monotreme of some sort.

edit: the description also says "mixed up appearance" though, which, like mith said, makes me think "platypus".

2. You would have to go to Asia to see one of these but chances are you don't really want to, at least not out in the wild. It's the biggest of its of kind. If you survive the bite the infection will probably do you in anyway. This one has to be the komodo dragon. 4. Not many species belong to this...

If there are two or more X chromosomes, one of them will be inactivated and will be seen as a Barr body... a normal male should have genotype XY, therefore, NO barr bodies. An abnormal male with Klinefelter's syndrome will have genotype XXY, accounting for the presence of a barr body. If the son is ...

According to wikipedia, the magnifying power of a TEM is about 50 million times.

At these magnifications however, I think the more important information to know about electron microscopes is resolution... you can read more about the resolution of EMs here:
