Jun 15	comment	Eye color genetics Does this question: biology.stackexchange.com/questions/728/… answer your question?
Jun 13	comment	How is consciousness linked to the brain? "A mix of chemicals interacting with each other" is a great way to describe organisms.
Jun 8	comment	Comparing BLAST and the Smith-Waterman algorithm @Ranco You are able to accept your own answer.
Jun 7	comment	Less Evolved Humans? I closed this because I think you are starting from a false premise that phenotypic variation in humans can be equated with some idea of evolved-ness. Homo sapiens is one species with much variation.
Jun 4	comment	How do changes in temperature affect body weight in humans? Can you expand your question some? Are you only interested in weight changes? Your title mentions metabolic rate, which is related to weight gain but certainly not the only factor. "What would happen" is very broad. What kind of animal(s) are you thinking of?
Jun 2	comment	What is this insect? Some kind of crane fly (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crane_fly)
May 31	comment	Do women feel pain the same exact way as men do? I should have said more general. You described a very specific case, which would arguably be of limited use to others. We have a age on asking questions: biology.stackexchange.com/questions/how-to-ask. You can also post in meta for more discussion of how to ask good questions.
May 31	comment	Do women feel pain the same exact way as men do? I've edited this question to make it more theoretical and thus answerable from a biological standpoint.
May 28	comment	What common household items may serve as an antiseptic/disinfectant? As is, this question is too close to a personal health recommendation and thus off topic. Can you try reformulating the question to be more general?
May 28	comment	Meat and mushroom allergies, why are they so rare? Do you mean few mammal meat allergies? There are many fish and invertebrate (e.g., shellfish) allergies.
May 28	comment	What kind of tree could this be? Is there any reason to believe that it is a real species at all?
May 28	comment	Which of the following is a primary source of gelatin used in Ice-Cream? Welcome to the site. Currently, your question is a little basic. Could you expand a little to help possible answerers go beyond a simple google search? Are you particularly interested in ice cream, or would something more general such as the various sources of gelatin also interest you?
May 17	comment	Writing methods section on PCR amplication in a paper The first sentence is not a sentence.
May 15	comment	What molecules/elements/compounds are in the cardiovascular system? Hi and welcome to the site. The question you have asked is extremely broad. Is there any way to perhaps narrow it to make it more answerable? See the FAQ (biology.stackexchange.com/faq) for more details.
May 13	comment	Does the human ear adapt to noise levels? Although I think you are correct about prioritization as the reason behind the described phenomenon, I disagree that "Our ears don't have a control setting or a means of adjusting incoming sound levels". The tensor tympani and stapedius both help attenuate the mechanical response to loud sounds.
May 9	comment	Why is saltatory conduction faster than continuous conduction? This is similar to, but I think slightly different than biology.stackexchange.com/questions/8026/…
May 9	comment	How long can a naked human survive on Mars? Certainly humans can hold their breath longer than a minute, but can they run 200 m while holding their breath given the elevated heart rate and blood pressure resulting from general sympathetic response resulting from their sleeping quarters being on fire? They won't freeze at 27 C.
May 8	comment	Relationship between biomass and net primary productivity Hi and welcome to the site. It might be useful to readers to include the reference or a link to the paper you read.
May 7	comment	Did dinosaurs have more than one brain? If so, why? Could you add some citations or references to substantiate your answer?
May 7	comment	Book about Capillary Electrophoresis of DNA Maybe change the question to ask the difference between those models, if that's really what you are interested in knowing.
