Think of it like cleaning agent and dirty dishes. The cleaning agent does not get clean itself, but causes the dishes to be clean. The Dirty dishes do not get dirty, yet causes the water and the cleaning agent to get dirty. ie. The cleaning agent is the oxidation agent and the dishes are...

The best place to start is think of every prac you've done this term and revise them. If this is too daunting, don't worry, just go though the points on your syllibus and find something major or your teacher spent time on with the theory side of it. This is normally the prac they choose as they...

Well, apart from the fact that what you've just said goes against everything I think, yes I am doing med. physics. I find medical physics boring as all buggery because every science is turning into a poor excuse for another science (ie. Bio draws from chem and phys, chem draws from phys and bio...

Two process which could result in different gametes occuring are random segrigation and crossing over Random segrigation: When creating only one zygote, only two gametes are required to do so, however, there are more than one different groups of chromosomes that make up different gametes...

2 seconds on google: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CFCs its under synthesis.

Since when, daviet, have you found agar plates being sold in your local super market? If you have the right matterials then you can do Louis Pasteur's experiment. This involves having two glasses, one of which you keep open as the control, the other you attach a swan neck fitting (it looks...

What happened is that they stopped mold from producing a certain protein by removing a peice of DNA such that it would not survive without the protien being introduced to the sample to keep it alive. From this they concluded the "one gene - one protein" theory. This later changed to 1 gene -...

I'm doing 12 units and going quite well. Just keep on top of all your work and understand it the first time instead of finding out the night before the exams and you cruise through the year picking up 85%+ marks

Our common room got torn down for some new science labs. Admittedly, it was a room leading out onto a roof, but it was nice all the same. We were promissed a new common room, but instead we got a "study room" You're not allowed to do much 'cept read school books. Other books are out of the...

There are a few things you need to know before doing this - Every polypeptide is created by a series of amino acids. - These polypeptide are then used to create protiens. - Every gene codes for one polypeptide. - A codon is 3 base pairs that codes for one amino acid To start, you...
