I can't put it any better than FlaSoxxJim: "You would give the biologist a rundown of the chromosomal characteristics of the rat's diploid (2N) cells – not just the chromosome number, but a physical depiction of their relative sizes and possibly an indication of which pair reprtesents the sex chromasomes – often it's a mount of the actual chromosomes themselves or some other physical depiction of the chromosome set."

SoxTalk Useless Trivia Expires 16 June 2005 at 3:00PM PM THE ANSWER TO ME... DO NOT POST Question 10 Category: Half and Half Point Value: 55 This is the first of 10 true/false questions. Answer correctly and get the points... try as few or as many as you want. Each question is worth 4 points, and you get 15 bonus points for getting them all. Good luck. About one-sixth of the earth's surface is permanently covered with ice. F French was the official language of England for over 600 years. T Damascus, Syria, was flourishing a couple of thousand years before Rome was founded in 753 BC, making it the oldest continuously inhabited city in existence. T When the Apollo 12 astronauts landed on the moon, the impact caused the moon's surface to create a new crater thirteen feet across. F Nope, no new craters that we know of. The 'Happy Birthday' song is actually copyrighted. So legally and technically, if you somehow profit from the song you are entitled to pay royalities to the Time-Warner Corporation. T The average dog requires more food in proportion to its size than a human baby or a cat. F A cat has 32 muscles in each ear. T The energy in an average one day hurricane could power the United States for a year. T It could also power it for two more after that. Although it is still featured on the state flag, no grizzly has been seen in California since 1924. T They were hunted to extinction A Holstein cow's spots are like a fingerprint or snowflake. No two cows have exactly the same pattern of spots. T Edited June 16, 2005 by techgeekxp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
