@helloworld! PONYO PROFILE PIC!!

No matter the explanation we may have, we still ultimately know nothing, and that’s honestly exciting to me, because no matter how much you ‘grow up’, you can literally decide right now in this instant to START playing the game, and you will always discover and explore new things without it feeling repetitive, no matter actively repetitive objectively gets.

Yes exactly. Same goes for anti matter and strange matter (both theoretically proven only). Strange matter is mortifying. But would serve as excellent fodder for a story.

I love Studio Ghibli! Was confused between Kiki's Delivery service, My neighbour Totori and this. Sasuke won!

@[Blank] maybe we should move this out of the bio discussion?

Yeah, and at a different time.
It’s midnight, lol.

My thoughts exactly.

UV radiation well more specifically UV-B, can cause DNA damage by forming thymine dimers, where two adjacent thymine bases on the same DNA strand bond together. This dimerization doesn't directly induce a point mutation from adenine to thymine. but if not repaired correctly, thymine dimers can lead to point mutations during DNA replication, as the replication machinery may misread the dimer and insert the wrong base. The formation of thymine dimers doesn't misalign the DNA strands but can disrupt the normal base pairing and replication process.View attachment 39977

Thanks alot, that makes sense now

GUYS I SENT MY LONG RESPONSE TO MY TEACHER AND I GOT A 6/7 THIS IS THE HIGHEST IVE EVER GOTTEN WITHIN THE LAST 2 YEARS I LOVE BIO

bro why have I had zero notifications from this thread since monday

 

[SadCeliac]

okay so I'm doing a summary of pathogens and their adaptations <3 give me a sec

 

[SadCeliac]

PATHOGEN	EXAMPLE	ADAPTATIONS
PRION	Mad Cow Disease	- It's a protein so it can't be detected lol no antigen markers
VIRUS	Influenza	- constantly evolving antigen markers - can survive without host - easily transmissible
BACTERIA	E. Coli	- capsule is protective - secrets toxins that are harmful to host and damage immune system
PROTOZOA (PROTIST)	Cholera	- forms microtubule projections that attach to host cells - forms colonies - complex lifecycle (e.g. malaria)
FUNGI	Thrush	- can tolerate large range of abiotic conditions - has a cell wall for extra protection
MACRO-PARASITE	Hookworm	- secretes proteins that hide their presence - just generally sneaky little buggers (quote this in hsc please)

edit please give suggestions to improve this thanks

we only looked at the adaptations of viruses, bacteria and fungi in detail

guys help should i go over mod 5-8 again like idk im bored

I mean I'm doing mod 6 rn (hating biotechnologies) I might need to update the running list thread if I get a chance and I'm bothered

WHY IS THE STRUCTURE OF THE EYE SO MUCH

I KNOW RIGHT WHYYY

how cool though the pupil is just a gap
