Hi Kiame! How are you? :nice:

 

Would like to answer my question for Brent regarding tea?

 

I'm fine, thanks for asking. And you?

 

Yes Brent does like tea I'm fairly sure.

Yes Brent does like tea I'm fairly sure.

I'm good, kind of hungry though D; I have to watch what I eat and not eat after 8 o clock (cause my stomach's a bitch). Unfun times, but I'll get used to it :nice:

 

 

Ooh, do you know what kind he likes?

When did this become a kiame and emma convo thread? lol jk im just lurking your convo :curtain:

 

 

 

Edit: now i feel like 86timewarp, a creep. lol

I feel my signature will satisfy you. I was also getting tired of my sig so its time for change.

 

That's the 2nd best sig I've ever seen

 

Do you drink tea?

 

I do. Love it. At least 3-4 cups per day

 

I'm fine, thanks for asking. And you?

 

Yes Brent does like tea I'm fairly sure.

 

Kiame you know me better than anyone

Chai, black, pekoe, mint, misc. herb. There's really not a kind I don't like

 

Well I don't really like green tea :snobby:

I had chai tea today :wacko: Chamomile and Vanilla is also nice. Oh and Love tea (rose, lavender and chamomile) is also lovely.

l. I'm hungry too but to get to the kitchen I have to walk past these people who had a fight yesterday and it will be awkward because they know I heard them fight. Ugh.

 

And yes Brent I know you so well its scary...

 

Green tea is awesome though. Stupid Brent

Oh wow, that is awkward D; That's why a stash of food in your room could be a good idea.

I'm going to go sleep, night :hug:

Love tea?

 

Does it create an air of romance (or at least a fragrance) in the room? Does it make lovehearts bulge out of your eyeballs when you rest your vision upon the next male you see?

 

I WANT TO KNOW

^ Yeah, I kinda wanna know, too.

 

Also, I agree with Brent's sentiment towards green tea. Disgusting. :sick:

In due time

 

I'll forgive you if you delete the "I had the first comment on the paradise video" from your sig. It's always annoyed me for some reason.

THANKS! He even did it. Why he listens to you and not me :(

Because heterozygosity it the best determination of genetic diversity in a population. If you have more heterozygous organisms, you have more possibilities of different copies of genetic information to flow through said population.

 

Homozygosity cannot be used to measure genetic diversity, because...

 

a) most organisms are homozygous for about 90% of genetic information

b) homozygous organisms will rarely produce a differing offspring

 

So it's defunct in that regard

:( I appreciate the effort but I think you didn’t understand what I was asking :S

Heterozygosity measurement in population genetics refers to measuring the fraction of heterozygotes for certain loci in a deme (or population). This is tricky for several reasons. Microsatellites (SSRs) are, for example, known to be very diverse (can consist out of many alleles). Simply looking at heterozygosity would then give you an outcome closer to one, than if you’d look at more conservative regions of the genome. This does not mean that suddenly the population is less diverse. You also miss out on diversity of alleles this way, because one population can have only heterozygous SSR’s but each SSR could be biallelic for these loci, while another population has heterozygous SSR’s and one homozygous SSR. Measuring heterozygosity would lead to a higher number for the first population, while for all we know the second population might have heterozygous SSR’s consisting out of many alleles, what would make this population more diverse - in that respect - than the first.

There’s more reasons why measuring heterozygosity is not the same as measuring diversity, but people just read a Wikipedia entry and think they know. Sadly peer-reviewed articles nowadays published using heterozygosity as a measurement (eg. Fst, Gst, Rst) for diversity are still more common than the ones using more correct measurements such as Jost D. So I was just wondering why geneticists are still making this (essential) mistake when wanting to measure diversity of demes (subpopulations).

 

Why did I elaborate on this? :(

I TOLD YOU SHE WAS ASKING ABOUT DEMES INSTEAD OF GENES

I TOLD YOU SHE WAS ASKING ABOUT DEMES INSTEAD OF GENES

:smug: You're beyond smart

(I'm not, just to clarify, I just know this stuff because I got paid for it, it's part of my job)

I thought "demes" were just a group of organisms able to freely reproduce. My bad d00d

 

I did this stuff in evolution and molecular biology and genetics and molecular ecology but that seemed like so long ago :disappointed:

 

And Cobalt, she was asking about "genes" IN "demes" so...

 

EDIT: Wait can you PM me or something I'm so confused as to what a deme is. I thought I knew but I don't know anymore

No?

 

A deme is just used to refer to a subpopulation or population.

Oh, I did evolution and molecular biology and genetics and molecular ecology too :}

MOLECULAR ECOLOGY IS THE BEST THING EVER

 

Okay we're friends now

More than fwiends :} You just don't know

 

You managed to make Blaksexy1125 change his sig :heart:

:smug: You're beyond smart

(I'm not, just to clarify, I just know this stuff because I got paid for it, it's part of my job)

 

The amusing thing is, I don't actually know what a deme is or that it was different from a gene, I was just stuffing around :lol:

Oh.

At least he tried to send the antidote.

 

 

 

:lol: But it's true.

 

yeah at least

 

maybe :p

 

Haha

 

Well I wanted to send it but didn't want to spend the extra $0.20 to use a more reliable, efficient mail carrier

 

She's not worth $0.20. :|

 

[great now I know how less I'm worth

 

I know I was kidding

 

I'm going to be in Rome, Naples and Sicily. It'll be awesome.

 

I'm going to Europe for a couple of weeks. 4 days in Italy, 4 days in France, 4 days in Britain

 

And it will be awesome I hope

 

And then I have to come back for med skewl or whatever

Lucky you

brent i do not trust you as a doctor anymore i will never let you look at my vagina again

That Brent guy sees so much pussy.

he's seen like 73

it's crazy

How did I not see this earlier, that is indeed very amusing.

 

Oh Cobbie.

That Brent guy sees so much pussy.

 

he's seen like 73

it's crazy

 

Well now I'm in my cardiology rotation. No more 5:00am vag :disappointed:

 

Oh Emily it was wayyy more than that

 

Really unpleasant

Is there any bad film with Mark Wahlberg in it?

All of them are terrible

 

Like for real

 

I'm thinking the worst is probably The Happening. He talked to plants in it.
