Couple of questions on evolution

There are untold numbers of traits we have that have never been selected out. In fact, anything short of the perfect organism means that traits have not been bred out. We still have three separate brains, including the most primitive "lizard...

Why do we need polysaccharides?

I hear what you are saying, but I'm not going to give up eating all carbohydrates for the rest of my life. :)

I guess that open another question in this thread of, is helping people (or not helping people)...

Salmonella in eggs
Published (2009-12-13 13:57:00)
I could edit, but if someone has seen the answer would miss the edit. First answer was wrong - she checked details. Salmonella can colonize/infect oviducts, so it can be found everywhere, not only on the shell but both in yolk and white. -- buffer calculator , concentration calculator pH calculator , stoichiometry calculator

Your opinion as to what homolgy is
Published (2009-12-16 02:16:00)
Originally Posted by Ygggdrasil A statement like "sequence A is 95% homologous to sequence B" is commonly used and it could be considered correct. It can be somewhat ambiguous because there is a distinction between sequence identity (i.e. regions where sequence A and sequence B code for exactly the same amino acids) and sequence similarity (i.e. regions where sequence A and sequence B code for amino acids with the same...

The Modern Picture of Evolution
Published (2009-12-16 11:25:00)
I'm probably being awfully biased here, but I'd say punctuated equilibrium is what most respectable biologists would agree upon as of the past few years.

Why do we need polysaccharides?
Published (2009-12-17 17:10:00)
Could you quote exactly what it said, maybe it's just badly written, It probably means that sugars aren't found in mono or di-saccarhides in large quantities and we have to eat poly's found in plant material.

Your question pertains to the physiology of the cochlea. The cochlea is the organ in the brain responsible for transducing acoustic pressure waves into neural impulses.
Each cochlea has about 3000 " inner" hair cells which produce impulses when excited. The inner hair cells are "tonotopically" mapped, which means each inner hair cell is excited by a specific narrow range of frequencies, ...

Chances of handicap are not very high, but a lot higher than if parents are not related.
Many people have malfunctions of some sort in their genetic code. These malfunctions do not show up as disorders, because most genes come in two copies (one from the father and one from the mother) and you need exactly the same malfunction in both copies of the gene to result in the disorder.

If what you are looking for is evolution happening within a controlled experiment, the closest you'll get is probably controlled evolution of e.coli strains ( http://myxo.css.msu.edu/ecoli/ ). I expect these experiments to show fairly dramatic changes, but probably not qualifying for new genus. Other than that artifical evolution of domesticated animals and some plants has been going on for ...

1. all humans are the same race, this is a common mistake ,but all humans all over the world are basically the same race and there genetics different is not as much as to make them not the same race.
2. There were other different not-human animals, that are similar to humans , But the vanished about in the same time that humans came to there territory, the most common theory say that it was ...

Junior GF told me she would expect it to be only on the shell, both inside and outside. Don't treat this information as absolute truth as she was not 100% sure, but she finished Warsaw University of Life Sciences and these things were part of curriculum, so even if she partially guessed that's an educated guess
