    Cannibalism

    ur right kuru is caused by eating the flesh of the dead. kuru is caused by eating the infectious brain of the person. for reference visit google.but something similar in cows , i have no idea, but all the diseases caused by prions have almost the same effect. sponging of the brain
  2. we did not change suddenly from sexual to asexual phase. there were intermediate stages between the two like for example in conjugation there is no cleare demarcation between the male and female cell. but it's kind of hypothetical.i hope u understood what i'm trying to say.
  3. I wonder if the problems of light sleepers and sleepwalkers, for example, can be caused by the separate cerebral hemispheres being in different "sleep states"?this was originally by gcol. hi , i'm very good at the subject but i think sleep walking is seen during the dream stage of sleep when the body usually triggers the release of a chemical that paralyses the body, but people with this disorder aka somnambulism donot have the production of this chemical..hence the behaviour. i don't think it is because of the brain being in different states of sleep. is it possible though?
  4. quite simple when u go to sleep ur body organs specially ur brain will rest as in stop thinking.this does not mean it will stop giving orders , but will stop actions like thinking about matters outside ur body. u get desterssed, relaxed and will wake up fresh to face the mad world once more.

    Cannibalism

    well mad cow disease{bovine spongiform encephalopathy} is not caused because of digestion of protein but because of prion(virus without a genome). when the infected parts of a cow are eaten .but we cannot get the mad cow disease b'coz we are not cows or sheep.humans develop a disease called creutzfeldt -jakob syndrome when they come in contact with the prion which as silkworm said is a disease where the nervous system attacks itself.the targets are usually the cns and the pns . the diseased brain looks like a sponge because of the damage done to it. so u can easily identify it. muscles may not carry the disease. any way my point is if u want to eat a human and u think he/she is diseased u can avoid his/her brain. the rest of the body is likely safe.and i'm sure beyonce is healthy.
  6. i'm sorry i didnot read this before. then may be u should eat a lot of fersh fruits and vegetables.atleast that's what my mother tells me.

    Cannibalism

    euh !!!!!!!!!! scary. i'm never eating someone even if i'm on the death bed and need food to survive.sorry about what i said before.i was wrong.
  8. sure but how are we going to use them for killing enteric bacteria.the bacteriophage will be killed by the enzymes before it reaches the targeted area.This treatment can be possible in case of skin infections only. or may be if we can device a method for introducing these phages into the body safely. and i think they have to highly specific or all the commensels can be destroyed.
  9. pure stereotyping, what is studying science got to do with gender.whether man or woman need the same concentration, same calibure, same interst and the right attitude.

    Soil.

    i was talking about the human cells. there is a difference between a prokaryotic and eukaryotic cell.
  11. i completed the activity and over all i think it's not a problem to use embryoes for the purpose of research. think about the lives that can be saved.
  12. sorry about the question , but it was not on air 12 months ago dears , not atleast in india.
  13. these drugs have almost leathel effects if used frequently. and moreover enhancing academic performance with such drugs is illeagel,(how can it be legal) for the same reason as it is in the field of sports.it's like writing an exam using auto answering quills.impossible. but afterall it's tempting to have such things around.
  14. i'm into microbiology and genetics and want to take up research in the field of medical microbiology. it's more out of intrest that i took up the subjects. i was pretty fascinated with all these right from my childhood.
  15. and talking on the pro side it necessary that we test animals . because if we want to mimic the effects that the pathogen will have on human cells. then it becomes a esssential act.
  16. hey why not animals are like us they fell the pain.more over who gives us the right to test animals. and we don't even pay them. so sad.
  17. no being gay has got nothing to do with heridity. do u mean to say that a gay's son will also be a gay. no no no.strictly no . someone asked a similar question about a gay protein and gene, i think in the medicine column.

    Soil.

    no of course it doesn't. how is that possible.if it is so then a live cell put in soil should be able to survive and reproduce.{live cell like in a human cell} if that's what u meant.
  19. why do u want to clean out ur blood . u think it's full of dirt or something . ur body organs do the job all by themselves and they do it well.the phagocytes and the other cells in ur circulatory fluid are called scavengers for the same reason i think.
  20. some times it can so happen that the commensels in the body can take advantage of the situation and the condition might actually get from bad to worse.with the protozoan the bacteria and the commensels all trying to establish their authority.
  21. life begins right from the time the single celled zygote begins to divide.it carries out all the processes like during the cell cycle replication of dna , synthesis of proteins etc. so i think life begins with the single celled zygote.
