When extraterrestrial beings have landed on Earth and they are about to give birth we must use a simplified dihybrid cross to see if their infant will survive.

The most simple way of understanding the laws of segregation and independent assortment is to remember that inheritance of alleles are random. They do not care what other genes are passed along with them. I say random because...

We use the term "oxidative" because oxygen accepts an electron while the gradient made by the movement of electrons powers the creation ATP. But why do we even need oxygen?

The electron transport chain is the final and most important step of cellular respiration. While Glycolysis and the Citric Acid Cycle make the necessary precursors, the electron transport chain is where a majority of the ATP is created.

Did you know the formula your TI calculator uses to find the most simple form of any fraction is based on an algorithm discovered around the year 300 BC. Much to my surprise it was a simple process known as Euclid's Algorithm.

If you are tired of your current background and want to learn passively as you type away on your computer everyday, then you might want to check out a series of backgrounds I created. You can download the ZIP file here.

Much like the bold journey of Marco Polo and company to the unknown worlds of East Asia, NASA is set to embark upon a 21 month manned mission to the surface of Mars by 2030. With this in mind, there are two rationales that people seem to align with when discussing a manned mission to another planet like Mars.

Even though memorizing long sequences like Glycolysis or the Citric Acid cycle involve memorizing various synthetase and dehydrogenase enzymes, most of names used clearly state the function it carries out.
