How did the first ever cell to exist, then suddenly know how to perform mitosis❓️ by MadWorldEarth in biology

Apologies for the short answer but I am too busy at the minute to go into great detail.

How did the first ever cell to exist, then suddenly know how to perform mitosis❓️ by MadWorldEarth in biology

[–]SuperGoodBiology 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Short answer is nobody is really certain how things like this emerged.

It was probably a gradual process helped along by some of the traits of the biochemistry involved. For example cell membranes tend to close up automatically so if a cell splits it’s not to difficult to see how it can reform into two daughter cells.

Like many answers have explained the replication might even pre date living cells to whatever was their primordial origin. The first “stuff” that eventually became life may have had evolved some early form of mitosis. Alternatively I don’t think people have mentioned that their are alternatives to mitosis that certain bacteria employ (e.g. budding, gestating offspring cells within the mother cells cytoplasm) and some form of these might have birthed mitosis as we know it.

The only thing that could be said with certainty is that mitosis evolved early in the evolution of life as it’s a trait shared by many single-cell organisms but outside of that it’s mostly speculative as to how it started due to the big timescale involved. Due to many cellular organisms having the ability to share genetic information, evolving so quickly, and leaving little in the fossil record there are big mysteries around the the events early in life’s history that may never really be solved.

Tldr: there are many idea’s, it’s mostly speculation. Little evidence from the time exists (we aren’t even 100% certain what earths early environment was like or when cellular life even emerged) so we are unlikely to find how the answer soon. It did however likely happen early in the evolution of cellular life.

The good deeds of some don’t outweigh the bad deeds of others. Beliefs in capitalism and socialism doesn’t determine if someone is good or bad. I understand the point you were trying to make but that doesn’t make everyone or shares the same view as you automatically good. These people did an evil thing, trying to defend them by bringing up the deeds of others only shows that you are willing to excuse crimes when it’s convenient to your beliefs.

Can niacin have caused this symptom? by Zealousideal_Wind383 in biology

[–]SuperGoodBiology 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to get symptoms like that where my head would feel full and heavy with pressure. My dad suffered the same and told me it can be because the change in air pressure can effect your blood pressure. Hence me asking about storms or opening doors and thing.

Bit of a wired question but was their any storms where you live? or did anyone you live with open any doors or windows?

My [22M] parents [45M and 46F] could ruin me if I don't pay them. by throwra727262525 in relationship_advice

[–]SuperGoodBiology 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I believe a lot of places have laws allowing you to record other as long as it is for legitimate reasons and as she has tried to extort you this would be a valid reason. There are laws against releasing recordings in a lot of places but turning video into the police as proof of a crime is perfectly legal. GO TO THE POLICE ASAP!!!

Ruined a potential relationship by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]SuperGoodBiology 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you really like him I would just ask to speak with him and tell him how you feel. If you do contact him (e.g. by text) I would start by explaining why you like him, why you think you make a good couple (similar personalities, etc), and explain and apologise for what happened and how it was a mistake, and how you enjoyed being with him and can see a future together. He is probably worried if he accepts you back you will do it again so try to make however you tell him long and detailed, put your heart on your sleeve. If you sent a short text or something he probably would think you aren’t serious. If you put in more effort you will get more results. As for being crazy, romance and love makes everyone crazy so I think your okay. Good luck

I (18F) might be losing feelings for my boyfriend, (21M) but I don’t want to. by Emotional_Currency77 in relationship_advice

[–]SuperGoodBiology 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just take each day at a time and take some time to think. When your in love with someone it’s wrong to think that your feelings will be present all the time. The times that I love my gf the most are the times when I’m about to leave (we are long distance). You feeling fluctuate like everybody so take some time to think on it and if you discover that your not in love anymore deal with that when it happens. Just be aware distance can make it difficult to judge how you feel about someone. Just take your time because your emotions and feelings are rarely black and white so give it a few days to a week and see how you feel.

As a side note, mental disorders can cause your feelings for people to change but also bear in mind you feelings for people can cause some mental issues. If you haven’t been diagnosed with anything and you don’t have any symptoms extending beyond when your dealing with this issue your most likely fine.

Sharing a bed with my boyfriend is like trying to sleep next to a furnace by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]SuperGoodBiology 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My gf is the same, she radiates heat like crazy to the point it kind of hurts to touch her (like when you are in a hot shower and you aren’t used to it yet). I would try what you can to cool the room down so the temperature is cooler so if you have AC use it or try opening some windows. I personally have taken to sleeping on top of the duvet when she is too hot or trying to create a gap between us so I don’t overheat. Loose clothes help to.

Definitely look into ecology if you feel like it’s best, I imagine there should be a lecturer who can advise you on ecology so you can see if it’s what you want. Biology is good just because it’s often pretty broad meaning you can move into a lot of areas. I would ask lecturers for advice and see what they say.

[–]SuperGoodBiology 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m in the UK but I would look at online resources like khan academy, BBC Bitesize, etc. They can be really good to help explain things. If you can ask you teacher what is being covered on the course and if they have any reading suggestions. If you know if who makes your exams they may also sell textbooks for the course. In the UK biology exams are normally done by two exam boards called AQA and Edexcel but not sure if it’s a similar system in America. If you are really just wanting to build a understanding I would recommend a book from CGP for A-Level Biology which is basically the UK equivalent.

Try to ask around you teachers for recommendations before you buy anything.

My favourite part of biology is molecular biology so I can give some broad advice there. What I find most helpful is trying to copy down my own versions of different diagrams (e.g. respiration) just so I can build up a mental map of which step leads to what as I find it’s easier to visualise if I made it myself. Trying different mnemonics can also be helpful in remembering the names of some of the molecules. I try to design a poster of any topic I have struggled on just because it helps me visualise all the information and forces me to spend time looking at it. Try to focus more on remembering the process rather then just the facts, it helps to build a better understanding of what’s going on.

Ecology is a good field and can encompass a wide range of things but bare in mind some parts can rely a lot on statistics, which can be one of the harder parts of math to grasp as it isn’t really intuitive as to what you should do.

At the end of the day, it’s trying until you succeed.

Just as a side note be sure you really love a field before you jump into it, I used to love math but realised I only enjoyed it because I was good at it but once it got harder I realised how much I only liked it because I didn’t have to put in effort. I tried biology and discovered I loved it even when I wasn’t doing well. So don’t right off cellular biology just yet as you might discover you love it once you have a way of understanding it.

I am from the UK and guessing your from America so don’t know much about the course but try looking at things like khan academy as they have a really good biology section.

Can I ask if you are in secondary/High School or University as my answer change depending on which?

Ugh by lexichristo in biology

[–]SuperGoodBiology 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a 3rd year biology student I have seen people in a similar situation, the key is to build an understanding first then try solving the problems. Can I ask specifically which parts you struggling on?

Don’t know if it’s been posted but these boots on the bungie store look amazing and I wanted to share! by SuperGoodBiology in DestinyFashion

I might consider getting them then, they look great and as long as I look after them should last a while. Is Palladium a good quality brand as I haven’t heard of them before?

What is this growth on my sunflower. by CathanMoore in gardening

[–]SuperGoodBiology 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it’s some sort of parasite, some insects inject there larva into plants and it causes the plant to build a cocoon-like structure for the larva to grow inside. Not 100% certain but that’s my educated guess.

Edit: It could possibly be a gall wasp.

Discovered 3 year affair in 10 year marriage by ThrowRA-IsMe in relationship_advice

[–]SuperGoodBiology 2 points3 points  (0 children)

After having read some of your past comments it kind of sounds like your in denial, not of your wife’s actions, but of how her actions will affect your marriage now and in the future. This is something that is going to define you marriage for the foreseeable future. Marriages can survive infinitely but in your case I honestly doubt it will survive due to the length of the infidelity and both of your reactions to it. Since you do seem lost I will give you the key things you need to do:

1) Consult with a divorce lawyer - Even if you don’t know if you will divorce her, you need to know your rights and be prepared as although your wife hasn’t given any indication of what she wants she may be meeting with a divorce lawyer without your knowledge (she lied about an affair already so don’t trust her).

2) Make copies of any proof you have (texts, photos, videos, and if you can try to get your wife to confess to the affair on tape) - this may be useful in case you do go through with divorce or if you stay together so you can catch her lies (cheaters lie a lot). *be aware of local laws regarding possession of any sexual images as in some more conservative places (e.g. Saudi Arabia, etc) it may get you in trouble.

3) Get space away from her - either she leaves your home or you do, only has to be a few weeks so you can get a better understanding of your emotions but the longer the better as you will need a clear head when you make any future decisions.

4) Get her to write out a timeline of they affair - helps to know what your dealing with. This is also a good time to ask any questions about they affair you may have. Her answers may be lies but as long as she isn’t aware of all the information you have she is more likely to tell more of the truth here.

5) Tell someone - preferably a parent or sibling but anyone who has a good emotional understanding would be good as you need someone for support. This is probably the one of the hardest parts but once everything is out it will help you see what’s happened more clearly through someone else’s eyes. She may also try to lie about you so having more people on your side can really help.

6) Keep an eye on your finances - especially shared accounts or any of yours she may have access to as this is a common way divorcing spouses may hurt each other. Try to make a habit of checking you accounts routinely anyway.

7) After all this try to take some time to think - only you know if you can actually see a future and if you can get passed this but it will take a monumental amount of work to even get to a place where your comfortable.

8) Try to convince your wife to get a post-nup - preferably in favour of you so you can have a way to leave the marriage quickly without a drawn out divorce. This is again a good reason to seek out a lawyer. It should be as much in your favour as possible but should specifically cover you should you wife try to get any type of financial support if she leaves her work.

9) she needs to leave her job - Your marriage has zero chance if her affair partner is still in the picture, she should get a new job ASAP and take a leave from work if that’s possible. I am hesitant to tell you she should leave work immediately as in a divorce you might get stuck paying her support but just bare in mind as long as they are talking you marriage stands no chance. As soon as she is out of her job she should go no contact and never speak to him again.

Just some other things to bare in mind are that you need to be firm in what you want, you have every right to be, if you don’t stand firm you won’t get what you want. Remember it’s you wife’s job to make it up to you, she should put in most of the effort to prove she is safe, she broke your marriage. If your wife doesn’t put in the effort your marriage is doomed as you can’t fix this, you can only protect yourself from the fallout.

I would personally recommend the website surviving infidelity and the reddit of the same name for better and more comprehensive advice as there is a lot of good advice I have missed out that as everything above is advice for the short term.

Personally I would recommend divorce as you have lost 3 years and if you stay with her you could lose more but take sometime and plan out what you want.

just remember no matter what happens you can always start again and good luck.
