The banana DNA is also practically identical to our own!

Is that not a little scary?

Hi. I need help with figuring out how to get proper protein on a vegetarian diet.

I hear that you only get "complete" proteins from meat and soy .

I need to know some exact details if anyone knows or can direct me to a source ..?

I usually have 100grams of lentils but I need something else to add?
But what, and how much? :(

Does anyone know how much of the complete protein would be in the lentils and how I can figure out how much i'll need and what food I can get the other part from?

I don't understand it at all. :(

I want to eat properly so please don't just say eat "some beans" and "some lentils" I need to know how many grams of beans for example.

Suggest ANY vegetarian food combinations to get me complete proteins. I don't care about taste or eating the same thing all the time. I would have put this in the food section but I'd rather know the science behind it if you can. Thanks.

Takes Indirubin content from Dyers Woad Leaf as the index，compare the best extraction process between decoction and lifting reduction for ethanol，and take the L9 orthogonal experiment，do a research for the different level of factor that effect the Dyers Woad Leaf. The result shows that：The best extraction process is the lifting reduction for ethanol. The best extraction craft for Indirubin from Dyers Woad Leaf is crude drug reflux three times in ten time of 70% alcohol solution and two hours each-time.

I picked this tick off my dog yesterday and I'm wondering if anyone knows what kind of tick it is. It is obviously a highly engorged tick and is about 1 cm long. 

Here are some close up photos (I used my cell phone camera so the resolution is not great.) I took one of the top and two of the bottom.

Should I be worried? 
Thank you

Look up the formulas for adenine, guanine, cytosine and thymine. See where the two pairs attract each other. Write a short paragraph on the comparison of a DNA strand to a zipper, using the information on pairing.

A chemical reaction that releases heat is exothermic, so that means that the chemical reactions in our body are releasing heat as aerobic respiration is inefficient. Therefore why are humans called endothermic? Does this mean that cold blooded organisms are exothermic?

I don't know a thing about biology, but it seems to me that we all originate from a single fertilized egg cell that divides many times to become an adult organism. As I understand it, each time this division occurs, the nuclear DNA is replicated. Since there must be MANY such replications before we reach adulthood, and since each copy is a copy of a prior copy (with the exception of the original egg cell), it seems that the Law of Large Numbers would almost guarantee that errors would be introduced in future divisions. Since these errors are in turn propagated to future generations of cells within the organism, the number of errors would compound, and if the organism lived long enough (as measured in replication cycles), that it would have all sorts of things breaking down due to increasingly corrupted copies of its 'original' DNA. Does this actually happen in higher animals, or do the bad copies usually just die off since they aren't viable? Could this explain aging (in part)?

In physical terms, what exactly IS a smell or odor? OK, if it's a fart, I know that you're smelling gases such as methane and sulfur dioxide. But what about wet leaves or fried chicken or cookies baking? When you catch the smell of it, what exactly is being sensed by your olfactory nerve and taste buds? Is an odor composed of invisible particles of the substance or something like that?

If I understand correctly, in order to be blonde, a person must have two recessive blonde genes. If that person had a child with another person who was also blonde, how is it possible for them to have a child with brown hair when there was no dominant gene passed down? Is it impossible? Will light-haired parents always have light-haired children?

I know it seems ignorant but I am a well educated person and its something that intrigues me. If they are born without the ability to communicate how do we tell them what they are, indeed who they are? Surely as they are in a constant 'in your head' state, then do you think they are always thinking - what is going on? Why is someone putting stuff in my mouth? And do they think that we all must be like this?!! It really confuses me!
