Why is instructional television so relaxing at 4:30am?
I just watched about 20 minutes of "Biology: The Science of Life" on Channel 13. It was about protists. I was surprised that I remembered so much from biology--most of this would've been 9th grade. Mrs. Carman, 2nd period and alternate 1st periods, 600 wing. In fact, I remembered enough to know that they simplified protist reproduction. Basically, their version of it: asexual reproduction = clones, sexual reproduction = exchange of DNA. And of course, clones aren't always perfectly genetically identical: there's always the possibility of mutation, ensuring some genetic diversity. (If mutations never occurred, of course, evolution would be impossible. :-) ) It's been 12 years, though, so I couldn't give much more detail. I did remember what amoebae, paramecia, and Eugena are, though. Go me. Biology was always my strongest science subject, probably because it's the most verbal and least mathematical of the sciences.
