What happened to your cute little tortoise you had before?

My sig is an indication of my brain capacity.
ou are correct, it is impossible to calculate, but the same goes for weather, or the decaying of an atom. You can still make a mathematical model which could predict an outcome based on variants.
As i stated, one variant i have not included is crossing over (though if you were good at maths you could factor this in). The more things you factor in, the better the model, the better the prediction. But you can never make a perfect model.
Have you factored in alleles into it?Alleles are just an essences of the genetic code. What it codes for. Its all contained on the chromosomes, so yes.
scientific evidence frequently turns out to be more bizarre and fantastic than many of us would have imagined, or is it just me?
Matthew - your figure of 2^23...that would be correct if chromosomes were either or choices. But they are not each chromosome varies internally to a greater or lesser extent.
Why aren't chromosomes an either or choice, is that just crossing over?
I understand now, due to the high amount of crossing over that the chances of this happening are very very slim.
BUT (regarding the quote)
Surely during meiosis the homologous chromosomes (2 chromosomes) line up, they are then split (after crossing over). so surely that is a 2²³ combinations (excluding crossing over).
each chromosome can either be in half 1 or 2, and there are 23, which ≈ 8 million.
Wow! Wearing what?!!!
Hope the day ended well and your results went as they should have.. meaning every thing grew or didn't grow as hoped either way! LOL
No just Peppercorn []
Otherwise he would spend it on chocolate hobnobs and pin ups of Ann Robinson.Did you chocolate covered Ann Robinson - mmmmmmm!!!!
(God! I need help!!!!!)
Maybe there is another mode of fight or flight. You could call it plight, when something knows, or thinks it knows death is imminent, it gives in! I've seem it with animals, and in the human condition It is utterly unforgivable for someone to subjugate another person to this. It's that much more then helplessness. []
But AirThumbs, without the altruistic work of the advert makers how would I know what I want to spend my pay-cheque on?
So are you saying that the majority of people need to be controlled for our economy to work?
I can almost get one foot to touch my head but then that would be hopping if I made it! But if hopping qualifies as a type of walk I might be onto something []
My legs are not long enough to get my feet on my head... []
Did you actually try that? How close did you get? might be able to get there eventually and walk inside your head and on your head at the same time!
