Jan 20	reviewed	Close Why have humans evolved conciousness?
Jan 17	answered	What's the simplest set-up to demonstrate soiless plant growth to middle school students?
Jan 14	comment	How should I ship plasmids? This is the best way to go. You can also wrap the filter paper in a bit of cling wrap just in case.
Jan 12	reviewed	Close Endocannabinoid Transporters - which ones are Likely to Exist and what is the Evidence for their Respective Existence?
Jan 12	reviewed	Reviewed Photosynthesis - Light Intensity
Jan 11	revised	Regeneration capabilities in humans? Fixed typo.
Jan 9	reviewed	No Action Needed How can you test what color different people perceive?
Jan 6	comment	What is the purpose of the adrenal medulla? I think we're agreed then: the adrenal medulla is a complementary organ to the mass response of the SNS. It is also more than that, acting as an endocrine tissue, which does take input from other endocrine tissues to modulate any sustained responses to stress.
Jan 6	answered	What is the purpose of the adrenal medulla?
Jan 5	reviewed	Reviewed Is there any difference in terms of personal healthcare between complete DNA sequencing and SNPs genotyping?
Jan 5	comment	Is there any difference in terms of personal healthcare between complete DNA sequencing and SNPs genotyping? Genotyping can tell you more information than just SNP, for instance you could easily amplify a region of a gene for sequencing to determine if there are more serious errors.
Jan 5	reviewed	Reviewed Where is the line between Anaerobic and Aerobic?
Jan 5	reviewed	Approve suggested edit on Is the eyes' movement discrete?
Jan 4	comment	Is every part of a virus important for replication? That's right. Everything works together. What @Alan Boyd has pointed out is that 3 genes can be removed, and that HIV virus can still make more viral particles that are capable of replicating and reinfecting. Those 3 genes seem to play more nuanced roles in the dynamics of an HIV infection cycle.
Jan 4	reviewed	Reviewed Are there known minimal marine ecosystems that are stable?
Jan 4	comment	Is every part of a virus important for replication? That's correct. The RNA genome of HIV encodes genes for the 9 proteins mentioned above. These proteins each serve some function. These proteins together with the viral envelope, let the virus enter a susceptible cell, integrate with the host's genome and later replicate itself. For example, you couldn't just inject someone with the RNA genome and expect to see HIV virus production.
Jan 3	answered	Atomic force microscopy: depth penetration?
Jan 3	comment	Atomic force microscopy: depth penetration? I was under the impression that AFM works superficially on specimens.
Jan 3	comment	Is every part of a virus important for replication? @Alan Boyd has given a detailed answer regarding HIV.
Jan 2	reviewed	Approve suggested edit on What factors affect the rate of transpiration in plant leaves?
