How does mosaicism happen? If the extra chromosome 'lost' in some of the cells in the Blastocyst?

Expat, except the noble gases! They are all in proud , monastic independence, satisfied by their outer shells alone helium is the Mother Superior, don't you think!

Nah, I only got through Chemistry 302 and first year biology in Uni. But I went out w/this medical doctor who was a bit dull and not around a lot, so I'd raid his books when I had bored and it was snowing out. Then when he came home I'd use him as a lecturer. He'd draw me diagrams and show me models.

Noble gasses are snobs. That's why they're in that tall column.

Chemistry is OK but biology rocks. I just don't understand why people don't like biology

No, he was REALLY dull - he'd actually draw stuff on a sketchpad, take out his plastic and wood models, etc. That was the most interesting thing about him, in fact - it was like taking science classes for free and not having to worry about exams, either.

I sort of see chemistry and biology as intertwined, though. Chemistry went a lot better once I'd gone through calculus, though.

I just worried about what 'models' he was shoing you, eg 'Want to come up and see my model of the loop of Henle' Pwar, what girl could resist

I did biochemistry at university, but I'm a physiologist at heart.

Oh, no, he took science WAY too seriously for that, HMB. But he did help me out w/my calculus when I decided to take it as adult. And we used to brew good beers and ales b/c he was keen about the fermentation process. It was an excellent way to learn about anaerobic processes.
