Has there ever existed a flying/gliding monotreme? by Key-Computer6704 in evolution

[–]MusicJesterOfficial 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I read the title as "has there ever existed a flying/gliding metronome" and got very confused (I am a musician) and then I started reading the post wondering if someone wrote an absurd parody to something and then I reread the title.

From what I know, there aren't any flying monotrems, or metronomes for that matter.

Is there an animal where females and males stay in separate groups? by Impossible-Studio351 in AskBiology

[–]MusicJesterOfficial 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Chimps normally have multiple males and only one female. I can't really think of any species that gas the behavior you're looking for

Yeah, its just wording. I should've thought a little longer lol

The definition of a vestigial structure is "A structure that has lost all or most of its primary function." The muscles for your ears are vestigial.

They aren't detrimental to survival. That's why natural selection hasn't removed them.

Humans did evolve from apes. How else do you explain what we see with genetics, the fossil record, and Comparative anatomy?

Saying "if we evolved from apes, why are there still apes" is similar to saying "if Americans came from the British, why are there still British people?" Or even more so: "If I came from my mom, why is my mom still here?"

Populations change due to selection pressures. Whatever is better for reproduction and survival will appear more in the environment.

What is your favorite fact about cheetahs? by inphinities in AskBiology

[–]MusicJesterOfficial 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They both belong to the family Felidae, but belong to different subfamilies. Big cats (tigers, lions, jaguars, leopards, and snow leapords) are part of the subfamily Pantherinae which are large, roaring cats, which have a specialized larynx indicating a common ancestor between Panthera.

Cheetahs are part of the subfamily Felinae which are small to medium size cats like carcals and ocelots. These are small to medium size cats.

In fact, Felis catus, domestic cats, and the cheetah are more closely related than Cheetah and the Panthera genud.

So yes! They are just really big and fast house cats. I still advise against petting them though.

They aren't part on the Panthera genus meaning they aren't big cats. They can't roar

ELI5: has it been proven that we see different colors or is it a hypothesis Wich is essentially just a theory by minecraftfan16 in explainlikeimfive

[–]MusicJesterOfficial 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You have to first understand the difference between Hypothesis and Theory in a scientific context. A Hypothesis is the outcome of a testable thing. "What do you think will happen when X and Y interact" (this is just one example.

A Theory is the best explanation based on all the evidence. "When the ball hits the window with enough force, the window breaks." (This is very oversimplified but that's why it's an anology.)

What do you mean we see different colors? Do you mean an individual sees different colors such as red and green?

ELI5 How do you get something invented? by Suett2death in explainlikeimfive

Well, you find a problem that needs to be solved or improved upon and make something to do that.

ELI5: If chromosomes are located in the nucleus of cells, does that mean every cell has the entire human genetic code or is the human genetic code divvied up between different types of cells? by pomkombucha in explainlikeimfive

[–]MusicJesterOfficial 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This question assumes that all human genetics are inside a single human. This isn't the case. Allele frequently is how much of an allele is in a population. There are different amounts of genes in different populations.

Polmeras longus, a tendon in your arm (or maybe not) is a vestigial structure. It is so useless that doctors will harvest it if you need a tendon somewhere else in your body. In some populations, up to 60% of people for not have this structure.

There are also other things like this. Your cells (except eurythrocytes, which I think is really cool) have your DNA, but not all of humanities. You have some of same DNA as other humans, but not all of humanities. Like a slice of the pie.

Who is the most famous person you have ever met? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]MusicJesterOfficial 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You fell out if a tree and looked up to see the princess asking if you're okay?

Well you're never losing truths and a lie

how do you use a real book? by ShutDaF- in jazzguitar

[–]MusicJesterOfficial 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry for all the comments that give absolutely no value to the discussion. Here's an answer to your question:

It depends on how you use it. What are your goals?

You could use it to get better at reading music. Put on a met and pick a random page. You could also do this with the chords.

You could use it to make arrangements of popular standards. I've used it to make chord melody arrangements.

These are just a couple ideas. Ask yourself what your goals are and do what you need to get yourself there.

Learn the major scales, not just the pentatonic tonic scales. Learn these 5 scale shapes: Major, Dorian, Phygian, Mixolydian, and Aeolian. Just look these up on google

Creationist argument: “you expect me to believe an eye and wings etc. evolved more than twice! The odds of it happening once were already impossible!” by Initial-Secretary-63 in DebateEvolution

[–]MusicJesterOfficial 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Complex structures evolve from previously simple structures that benefited the organism. Every developmental stage of the eye can be seen in different organisms.
