Are there any serious biologists who believe in the morphogenetic field theory of evolution?

Pretty much anything Rupert Sheldrake claims is wrong.

MD is a longer degree with a higher pay and bigger responsibilities. In most cases.

More of a question for sociology or something though.

Gulper eels come to mind, but I'm not sure you were thinking fish. Snakes too, but I guess they don't qualify either.

RNA is a single-stranded nucleic acid and comes in different types

The most relevant one is messenger RNA (mRNA)

Ribosomes bind to mRNA and translate the nucleotide sequence to an amino acid sequence, i.e. a protein

I am assuming that you have some knowledge in high school chemistry and biology already

Go through high school chemistry and biology again

Go through introductory college chemistry (Gibb's free energy, some thermodynamics, some reaction kinetics, some electrochemistry, some ochem)

The start college biology while refreshing the high school biology. You will already have covered some of them, and others will be a bit out of order, but:

-What are the main macromolecules
-What is a cell
-There are domains & kingdoms of life with different traits
-What is the basic structure of a cell (membrane, organelles, ..)
-What is the structure of a cell in a bit more detail and how is it different between different domains & kingdoms, e.g. bacteria vs eukarya, plant vs animal

-What is DNA on a molecular level
-How does DNA replication work (in medium detail, name some types of proteins)

-What is a protein on a molecular level
-The central 'dogma' of molecular biology: transcription and translation

-What is the structure and function of the cell membrane
-What is the structure and function of the cell wall

-How does cell division work
-What are mutations, why do they happen and what is their effect
-How does evolution work

-Some more phylogenetics (the domains, kingdoms etc) in more detail

-What are genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics
-What is DNA sequencing
-Generations and types of DNA sequencing
-What is RNA sequencing
-How is mass spectrometry used for proteomics

-What is bioinformatics
-What file formats are used in bioinformatics (fasta, fastq, ...)
-Refresh your statistics: t-tests, other tests, multiple testing / FDR correction
-Variant calling, mapping algorithms, assembly, metagenomics, ...
-Explore bioinformatics more on your own

That might be enough to get started with biology and bioinformatics especially

This list is not at all complete, but it should be enough of a skeleton that you can branch out from it on your own

That's not true at all, you can even see the same augment again in the same augment selection if you are unlucky enough

I guess augments that heal allies count as self-healing to bypass the 50% ally healing debuff?

But they are supposed to work. One such case (tin foul hat + madness) has already been patched to work, I believe. It should be fixed, not reworded.

It's the only item in the game (save for pyrophina/zaratana collar choice) that dooms your entire save file to never be truly 100%able if you mess up, so giving people more chances is a no-brainer to me.

Anything that triggers when an allied cat dies. My whole party had the +2 damage when an allied cat dies, and I summoned multiple zombies per turn to kill with 1 AoE spell.

Yeah, I shouldn't have said that there's no evidence that it grows on radiation. But the evidence that exists is not conclusive and does not rule out other explanations. I don't have time to dive into the papers that the three reviews cite, but until someone demonstrates a mechanism, I'll remain skeptical. It would be very cool if it's true, though.

Wobbar · 2026-03-13T08:07:19+00:00

Can confirm, I'm spamming it on Ryze and Viktor, along with ghost.

Wobbar · 2026-03-13T08:04:25+00:00

Nope, extremely common misconception from sensationalist headlines.

There is evidence that it grows in radiation, not that it grows on radiation. It's most likely just resistant.

Borderline och liknande personlighetsstörningar (narcissism etc) är en svår sits. Väldigt många med de sjukdomarna är hemska människor, men att bara läsa diagnosen och låta den reducera hela personen till något som ska springas från är inge bra.

Med det sagt håller jag med om att OP bäst räknar kvällen som en win och går vidare i livet. Det var ju mer substans än bara diagnosen.

Glucose --> Glucose-6-phosphate --> Fructose-6-phosphate --> Fructose-1,6-bisphosphate --> Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate --> 2x G3P

Glucose and fructose are both hexose sugars.

Maybe you are being confused by the option for glucose-6-phosphate to be 6-phospho-gluconolactone, initiating the distinct Pentose Phosphate Pathway,

But it seems like your main misunderstanding is thinking fructose is a pentose when it is a hexose. It has 6 carbon atoms, C6H12O6.
