6 really isn't a large enough number to give the correct ratio, the reality of genetics is that that is what the probabilities say the calves should be, their actual phenotypes could be whatever they want within the constraints of the parents genotypes. The other possible explanation is that the gene is epistatic too something else and this has yet to be realised. I would have to say though you need a larger sample too start making any assessments.

It depends what they were doing, I think a person from our time would easily win at most events considering I can go buy a tuna steak and assorted vegetables from the shop and they would end up with some boiled rabbit they had caught.

It isn't really memory, it is just the body becoming more efficient by adding extra structures too an area that is more in use.

Well the whole idea of "muscle memory" is just a fallacy, muscles don't have memory, all that has occurred for the training is that when a certain set of events such as a movement occurs your reaction has been altered to the one you have trained for automatically by your brain. It is exactly the same process that occurs when you are touch typing if I sit here and try and think where the keys are on the board I really can't do it, I can't even tell you the order of the second row however, as I am typing this message I don't need to look at the keyboard, I can even close my eyes and know when I have made a mistake without seeing it. The same concept occurs with martial arts but on a larger scale and most would proclaim at its most effective the same level of accuracy, I don't know of any studies that show this or if certain actions of styles of actions would take longer to acquire but it is all just a function of the brain. In some cases these innate responses are already built into the body such as to blink if something come towards your eyes, or for babies to suckle on there mothers tit to get milk.

Well in his hypothetical idea, from one side of the English channel to the other you could just use sea water, I could see it working if there was a reasonable height differences, however I can't see it being that fast also I would think it would be closed for a lot of the year due to adverse weather conditions. I wouldn't really want to be stuck on the middle of it when the wind picked up that is for sure.

Indeed, they bind to epithelial cells and cause them to break down some research shows they are related to viral infections. They most likely cause some kind of change in gene regulation that ends in apoptosis.

I really can, I have skied a vertical kilometre in about 15 minutes, look at the distance you have travelled and then times it by 9, that isn't even a large factor. Most people without any sense of scale could imagine that, maybe you are the exception here We don't know how many stars there are in the universe we only have rough estimates, so I can hardly see how you can make that statement.

I fail to see how that question is even relevant but then again I fail to see how this topic is relevant to a science forum. Electron Microscopes can have a resolution of 0.002nm or greater, however just because you can see something doesn't mean you can comprehend its scale.

What you class as birds singing would be the equivalent of our talking, they are one and the same thing, they have just been classified differently by humans.

To be fair I would use any kind of tablet or injection that weigh lifters use they all screw you up in some way or another even some of the powders, the best/safest way to gain muscle mass if you really wanted too would be to just use a protein shake which is just amino acids and no other chemicals.

Well one problem with that video i see already is that when the chemicals were put together and made nucleotides they were not in conditions similar to the early earth, they were under the opposite conditions to what scientists believe the early earth was like, they were under oxidising conditions and the early earth was reducing.

None, if you have a mutated ribosome you are never born or the cell dies via apoptosis.

Yes, that is correct however developing enough of those cells from a specific person constantly would be excruciatingly expensive as well as not even solving the problem. Then of course there is the fact that you would most likely need to use an exponential amount of cells each time as each cell infected would create more than one virus so adding more cells would just create an increased amount of viruses that could infect faster.

To be honest a vacuum isn't really going to help, yes it won't get as big as fast but what are you really going to do with a black hole, not like you can just put it in landfill. That is the whole problem if you don't say there is no chance of it happening, which most scientists won't then the media takes that to mean the imminent destruction of the world is certain.

I think he was implying at school, I did "learn" French for 4 year, I can't speak a word of it, or read anything of it, don't even know how to pronounce the words, All I can do is ask for beer and mulled wine.

I would think you reverse equation B (a) NaOH + HCl > NaCl + H2O (b) NH3 + NaCl + H2O > NH4Cl + NaOH © NH3 + HCl > NH4Cl To that then you can cancel to get the third equation, meaning you would change the signs on equation B. I'm quite impressed with myself for doing that.

I was more talking about FPSs than in real life, not sure if it is actually possible, but it is an idea for someone to look into for the future, I would guess it is possible now but no where near profitable, due to the price of the hardware. Might be cooler in laser quest as then you know when someone is hit so you can knock them off the map plus it will give an even more sci-fi style to the whole experience. Because they aren't accurate enough and if you go shoot someone from 5 meters with a "sniper" paint ball gun then it is going to break them. My friend has a £300 paint ball and decided it would be a good idea to shoot himself in the arm and record it in slow motion on his phone, he has a scare there now.

When was the last time you saw a sniper in paint balling, that and the fact that if you are seen then the person could just shout sniper up their. But for all intensive purposes if sniping actually happened in paint balling then yes it would defeat the purpose of them, the problem? I don't see it, if they were good enough in the first place they wouldn't get seen.

You just wire a controller to the side of the gun and have a infra-red laser. When you see the enemy you aim the gun, hit the button and the position the laser is pointing at comes up as an enemy dot on the map, in reality you would just aim at a tree near them or the floor as to give a general position of an enemy unit. It would be more of a long range technique or if there are multiple units and they are flanking you. By in your peripheral I mean that in the mask you would have a screen in the corner so when you looked up and left you could look at it, the only disadvantage is to see someone who was in the same position as the map you would have to turn your head, and if you are aiming your head should line up with the sight of the gun and then gun should move with your eye line.

Not if you put it in the peripheral view especially in paint balling it would show where all your team mates are on a map and would be even more useful if there was a way to relay information to each other about the enemies position.

Indeed, I could just get a contract for £20 a month and get a ton of free minutes and free internet as well as texts.

It is unethical for a doctor to miss lead a patient into believe something that isn't true, if they start doing this now how can you trust them when you actually have a problem. Where as I agree with the idea in principle you can't just go round treating everyone like idiots even if they are. Plus then there comes the whole legal ramifications when a doctor miss diagnoses something and then gives a pill that does nothing, of course the same is the case if they miss diagnose you anyway, but then if you still feel bad you aren't going to be sitting at home waiting for the "drugs" to kick in. It makes no sense if the condition is going to fix itself to give someone something just to make them feel better in the short term as inevitable it will do no harm to them giving them nothing and no harm to the reputation of the profession either. However the case could be made that doctors should always do what's in the patients best interest.

Because it is unethical and the placebo effect doesn't work on everyone, it is immoral to sell nothing and claim it is something especially as a doctor.

Well I know they can't digest keratin in hair as I remember a news story where a girl died and they found that a ball (about the size of a small american football) of hair in her stomach.

Hence the fact I didn't download it straight away, if I haven't heard of a file ending something is up. Especially bad when it has 2 file endings as then it just looks suspect. Can't say the file is playing to well on my computer, think it must be codex problem, any chance of have an .avi copy of it.
