This is totally false. No Democrat voted to confirm him. It was 52 R for, 45 D, 2 I, and 1 R against. See https://ballotpedia.org/Confirmation_process_for_Robert_F._Kennedy_Jr._for_secretary_of_health_and_human_services#Confirmation_vote_roll_call for more details.
trisomy-21 isn't present in sperm or eggs, it's a mistake in cell division early in fetal development
This is incorrect. Non-disjunction (where chromosomes incorrectly separate) typically happens during the formation of egg or sperm. (We know this because most everyone with down syndrome has three different chromosome 21 instead of two identical copies of one chromosome.)
I hear you, but let's not forget that Newsom is doing the bare minimum here.
I'm certain we can find a better nominee in 2028.
A related more general mnemonic works for the running lights too. Red has fewer letters than green, so it goes with left which has fewer letters than right and port which has fewer letters than starboard.
YY is non viable; the X chromosome has many genes which are essential. You can be XY, female, and fertile, but it's pretty rare.
There's a bunch of them, but one more common example is Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome.
It's also possible to have a non-functional SRY (XY but female), or to be XX with an SRY translocation (XX but male).
Biology is complicated: pretty much anyone who says it only happens one way or is really simple is wrong.
This is a bit misleading. You only need to treat the first generation of 2n watermelon with colchicine (which inhibits the movement of chromosomes during metaphase) to produce a 4n watermelon. Once you have a 4n watermelon, subsequent generations do not require colchicine treatment.
Deflationary periods may be helpful to those with large amounts of cash or cash equivalents, which generally isn't the working class. Wage growth outpacing inflation helps the working class more.
There's likely some cases of convergent evolution, but I'm not sure this is settled for all trees.
I'd suspect that at least some trees with last common ancestors that are shrubs have re-enabled genes that enable the tree phenotype rather than independently evolving the tree phenotype.
But still really cool (and maybe turns on exactly how much evolution your consider needs to happen before it's convergent evolution.)
Though usually they appoint them to ambassador to a ally like France or England or somewhere else cushy with minimal political impact.
Because they temporarily block the onset of puberty, not permanently block it. Any effects are mostly reversible if the individual desires. What isn't reversible are the all too frequent side effects of untreated dysphoria: death.
The 20 of us who looked up the vote record for his confirmation?
Democrats do bad things, but let's at least complain about the bad things they actually did.
