zomg hi DZAndrea

10/28/2008 7:45:12 PM

you are what you eat

so tonight i am pizza and meatloaf

10/28/2008 7:45:21 PM

and what would you like to know?


dogs are the most genetically diverse species and they think it may be do to the fact that dogs have the largest numbers of tandom repeats within their genome, reinforcing their characteristics

also, autism is a spectral disorder and polygenic with some 30+ genes

speciation within evolved neural networks seems to increase the rate at which the population closes upon a usable solution by an order of magnitude or so

also, starting with very small networks and growing them incrementally seems to cause the population to close more rapidly on usuable solutions as well.

bttt for discussion of genetics

10/28/2008 10:22:11 PM

yeah, biology was not a favorite subject of mine

Identical twins do not have identical fingerprints because fingerprints are not entirely genetic.

i am totally digging on the fact that there is a pic of Andrea in my thread about genetics

10/28/2008 10:25:28 PM

I tried to take this on a tangent, 'cause I too have a weak biology background

10/28/2008 10:25:29 PM

this is not a real cat

10/28/2008 10:26:03 PM

i know i'm in some group in facebook about being a dna heliocase and unzipping something

we have now exhausted my knowledge of genetics

polydactylism is a dominant trait, but it's expression is also influenced by environmental factors

and the coloration of tortishell cats is the result of random inactivation of one of the two X chromosomes in each cell, creating a unique pattern. (this formation of a barr body limits each cell to express ONLY orange or black.)

the chromosomal difference between humans and chimpanzees is due to a robertsonian translocation.

10/28/2008 10:45:14 PM

say what?

Through genetic recombination, and a stroke of luck, you can become Spider-man.
