I can’t say that I understood everything but a major take away was 'shut the fuck about biological sex if you don't know what you’re talking about'.
“There are only two genders! It’s a biological fact!”
|| HELLOOOOO ||
|| I forgot to mention All Might in this analysis/theory! I'm so sorry peopleee!!! ||
|| All Might is also one of the biologically quirkless characters we know of! ||
|| And most likely his parents were quirkless too ||
|| And since Horikoshi apparently doesn't like dads, we only get small glimpses of his mother ||
|| And to be honest, she was very pretty and looked very kind, but as we already know, most likely some thief/villain killed her (Since All Might himself mentions it) ||
|| Because Horikoshi only draws All Might with his mother when he, like, 5/7? (Maybe?), it is most likely that she died when he was still young. ||
|| But I'm already digressing- The point is that I'm basically going to include him in this as well, since I forgot to mention him in the past post... Okay that was it byeeee ||
|| THEORY TIMEEE ||
||↓ Following this post of here ↓||
|| Something that impresses me a lot about the world of MHA is that no one has questioned how Izuku can be quirkless if both of his parents have a quirk (I mean, sure, no one asks Izuku about his father, but at least Mitsuki Bakugou should know something about that man, i mean, she IS inko's best friend, at least once she had to think this stuff through and be like: "Wait, something doesn't seem right here-") ||
|| I mean, the only quirkless characters from birth we've seen apart from Izuku are Aoyama and Melissa! ||
|| But for both there is an explanation for why they are quirkless! ||
|| With Aoyama we know that both of his parents are quirkless, sooo is clear why Aoyama is quirkless, since he inherited that from his parents. ||
|| With Melissa is a similar case, the only thing that differentiates her from Aoyama's case is that she has a father with a quirk, which increases the chances of her being born with one, but as I theorize, her mother on the other hand was most likely quirkless, which made Melissa that slim chance of inheriting that gene. ||
|| Because according to the mha logic, the quirkless gene is somewhat rare, which means the quirk gene is a dominant gene (as the post above says) ||
|| So, in the case of Izuku, who has TWO PARENTS WITH QUIRKS (Inko with "attracting small objects" and Hisashi with "breathing fire") it is rare that he ended up quirkless, of course his parents could be carriers of the quirkless gene, but as I said, the quirk gene is dominant, and Izuku being from the 5th generation only makes the chances of that quirkless gene affecting 5% or so if both parents have a quirk (I mean, please, at least for Aoyama and Melissa it's understandable, it has an explanation, but for Izuku?) ||
|| As I said, Inko and Hisashi could be carriers of the gene, but since we don't know anything about the grandparents of any of the children in class 1A, we won't have an answer about that. (↓ Here is an example of the biology of inheritance, so you can keep the focus and not get lost 10 times trying to understand this like I did- ↓) ||
|| As we can see, Izuku would be the "Affected Offspring" in this case, and as you can see, even if he got a quirk, he would still carry the quirkless gene, since it is also rare to be born like the "Unaffected Offspring" ||
|| But, if we go by the "Dad For One Theory" side, we have a man who was born in the first era of quirks, an era in which the dominant gene was the quirkless gene, see where I'm going? ||
|| All For One, being from the first generation, gives him more chances of inheriting the quirkless gene and if Inko is also a carrier of this gene even if it is recessive, thanks to Afo's genetics it will be inherited ||
|| well that was all (Sorry for not having made theories lately, it's just that we've already finished the manga and there's no more content.) byeee ||

The shape of a fish's caudal tail can tell you a lot about how fast the fish moves! A rounded tail is the slowest and a lunate tail is the fastest! The lunate tail has the most optimal ratio of high thrust and low draw, making it the fastest.

w. wait. hold on a second. are. sharks whales????????
Nope! Sharks and whales are VEEERY different. They haven’t shared an ancestor since... well.... since the devonian, I suppose. That was over 450 million years ago!
See, it’s...
Oh, bother. Alright, fine, I’ll do an infographic. It’ll be easier to explain, because there’s a lot of stuff to digest.
Let’s go back in time to.... THE CAMBRIAN!!
Disclaimer: I made this in like an hour while slapping together what I knew about these two animals and decorating it with cute images. It isn’t totally accurate, and I’m simplifying a lot for ease of reading. Please don’t eat me, I’m not a bio major!
Transcript below the cut!
[Transcript start: The image is a simple-looking infographic with a green background and chalk-like white lined drawings of various fish.
The Cambrian Explosion, which took place about 541 million years ago, featured a whole bunch of neat stuff crawling around. This included things like:
Opabinia - a shrimp-like organism with lots of side-fins and a tuby-like appendage which it used to scoop things into its mouth
Trilobites - the ancestor of arthropods, which we consider ‘bugs’ these days.
Dickinsonia - an organism which looks a lot like a leaf, with a middle section and ray-like parts coming out of it and forming most of its body.
Andsome of the first fishes - the jawless fish, who were our earliest ancestors. The jawless fish resemble lamprey eels - things which don’t have a moving jaw bone.
During the Devonian period (approximately 490 million years ago), the fish line evolved jaws, which was great for them, because they could now smile winningly. (And eat stuff better.) This was the last common ancestor shared between sharks and whales.
The jawed fish evolved into two groups - one was the cartilaginous fish (or fish which have no bones, only cartilage, except for their teeth) - and the other was bony fish, which had a skeleton. These body fish were technically whale ancestors - because the group eventually evolved the species which first came up on land. These were creatures similar to lungfish, who were able to process oxygen out of water and could move themselves through mud using their flippers.
Meanwhile, the shark ancestors continued their lineage in the oceans and evolved into many more funky shapes, including rays (like stingrays) and skates.
As for the fish on land - they were the ancestors to what we know today as the tetrapods - the things which eventually became the amphibians, lizards, dinosaurs... and mammals!
One of these mammals was the whale ancestor, which looked quite similar to what we think of as a regular land animal - it had four limbs, and a body plan not dissimilar to dogs, cats, etc. Although it could walk on land, it decided to make an evolutionary U-turn and go back into the water again.
They evolved to be optimized for swimming, and eventually lost their hind limbs. They still needed to breathe air, though, and they are still considered mammals, because they birth and nurse their young!
This begs the question: If sharks and whales aren’t related to each other that much, why do they look so similar?
That’s a great question! That’s because of something we call Convergent Evolution.
It turns out some shapes just work really well when you’re trying to swim in water. Having fins, flippers, and being fish-shaped just gives you advantage, so many water dwelling creatures end up evolving similar bodyplans - like whales and sharks did.
There’s still a reliable way to tell the two apart, though. Check their tails! See if you can tell the difference.]
Rant about Indian liquorice because I love poison.
Indian liquorice is also known as Abrus precatorius and is a plant from the Fabaceae family, making it's most famous relative beeeaaannnzzz. It used to only exist in India but every tropical country has loads of this shit now.
The seeds, roots, bark and leaves contain a very Funny Substance™ that's one of the strongest poisons in the world.
Now let's say that hypothetically this liquorice got into the food of a person you coincidentally don't like. If the seeds are whole, nothing will happen, so you need to cut them up WHO SAID THAT. They also lose their toxic traits when you cook them, just like my ex.
After a few hours/up to two days your friend will get severe gastroenteritis, you know, vomiting, diarrhea, period cramps. Side effects often include a series of severe symptoms that transform the eyes into a shadow of their old selves. Oh and hair loss. I mean men are balding at 26 nowadays so it's not like people are gonna notice.
The most important aspect of the Funny Substance™ is the fact that it makes blood clot, and we all know what that does.
Two whole seeds are enough to cause severe poisoning in American adults.
While these little guys only grow in tropical regions, they're sometimes made into necklaces and sold, or placed in rosaries and dry arrangements.
Just saying.
Do you ever start bullshitting a paper, and then look over it halfway through and think, ’…Wait a minute, I could be onto something here.’
Cupid Bacteria anyone?
bacteria sooooooooo cute (google search emoji kitchen)
Pros of seeing yourself as a hive mind of all your trillions of cells: good reason to refer to yourself as "we" and "us" (very cool)
Cons of seeing yourself as a hive mind of all your trillions of cells: feel guilty whenever you remember how many thousands of cells you lose every second (very sad)
Conquer the world!

Sean bienvenidos amantes del mundo japonés a una nueva publicación, en este caso voy a dar mi opinión sobre uno de los hallazgos que se han hecho en el país del sol naciente y que tiene que ver con el rostro del niño reconstruido y de cómo la genética se aplica a la arqueología espero que os guste.
-
Antes que nada, el periodo yayoi abarca las siguientes fechas, 300a. C 300 d.C estas fechas son las tradicionales, aunque hay estudios más recientes del siglo IX antes de Cristo desde la península de Kyūshū, pero bueno, eso serán otras publicaciones que realizaré sobre el tema, pero en este caso nos vamos a centrar en este hallazgo este hombre se llama Aoya kamijiro.
-
Fue creado en octubre de 2021, ya que 1998 se encontraron unos restos arqueológicos de más de cien huesos humanos por lo cual es una tarea complicada, pero que nos permite reconstruir las facciones y no solo de la gente prehistórica, sino también de la propia historia como del mundo antiguo y de muchas épocas históricas.
-
Esto se obtiene a raíz de los huesos de los que se pueden extraer pequeñas muestras que son las que nos permitirán, saber si el individuo en cuestión era masculino era femenino y si padecía patologías.
-
Las nuevas tecnologías nos permitirán reconstruir fiel miente de alguna forma u otra el rostro, a la cual parece, ya que esto es un avance muy notable, tanto en la genética como en la arqueología porque podemos reconstruir bastante bien a la gente del pasado no sobre toda la población, que suele estar olvida en un segundo plano.

Espero que os haya gustado que pasen una buena semana.

日本を愛する皆さん、新しい出版物へようこそ。今回は、日出ずる国で行われた、復元された子供の顔と遺伝学に関係する発見の 1 つについて、私の意見を述べたいと思います。考古学にも応用できると思います。
-
まず、弥生時代は以下の300aの年代になります。 西暦 300 年頃 これらの日付は伝統的なものですが、九州半島からは紀元前 9 世紀に関するより最近の研究もありますが、それはまた別の出版物でこのテーマについて行う予定ですが、この場合は次のようにします。この発見に焦点を当ててください この男の名前は青谷神代です。
-
1998年に100体以上の人骨の考古学的遺跡が発見されて以来、この計画は2021年10月に作成された。そのため複雑な作業ではあるが、先史時代の人々の派閥だけでなく、古代世界や歴史上のさまざまな時代からの歴史そのものです。
-
これは骨から得られるもので、少量のサンプルを抽出することで、問題の人物が男性か女性か、また病状を患っていたかどうかを知ることができます。
-
新しいテクノロジーにより、何らかの方法で、その顔に見える顔を忠実に復元できるようになります。これは、遺伝学と考古学の両方において非常に注目に値する進歩です。なぜなら、私たちは過去の人々についてではなく、非常によく復元できるからです。国民全体が、通常は背景に隠れて忘れ去られています。
-
気に入っていただければ幸いです。良い一週間をお過ごしください。

Welcome lovers of the Japanese world to a new publication, in this case I am going to give my opinion on one of the discoveries that have been made in the country of the rising sun and that has to do with the reconstructed child's face and how genetics It applies to archeology. I hope you like it.
-
First of all, the yayoi period covers the following dates, 300a. C 300 AD These dates are the traditional ones, although there are more recent studies from the 9th century BC from the Kyūshū peninsula, but well, that will be other publications that I will make on the subject, but in this case we are going to focus on this discovery This man's name is Aoya kamijiro.
-
It was created in October 2021, since archaeological remains of more than one hundred human bones were found in 1998, which is why it is a complicated task, but it allows us to reconstruct the factions and not only of the prehistoric people, but also of history itself. as from the ancient world and from many historical periods.
-
This is obtained from the bones from which small samples can be extracted that will allow us to know if the individual in question was male or female and if he suffered from pathologies.
-
New technologies will allow us to faithfully reconstruct the face, in some way or another, to which it appears, since this is a very notable advance, both in genetics and in archeology because we can reconstruct quite well the people of the past not about the entire population, which is usually forgotten in the background.
-
I hope you liked it and have a good week.
don’t be homophobic, be homophilic.
#chemistryjokes #i think
Gonna feel very accomplished whenever I look at this page now
Doneeeee
I'm actually so happy with how the skin turned out
Was this procrastination ? Yes. But I had fun n it's kinda revision so 🤓☝🏽
Without labels:
WIP
Biology revision and fanart at the same time 🤯🤯
ITS ALIVE!!!! Happy Halloween everyone! I hope you all are having a Spooktastic with getting candy! I was a scientist this year since I studying biology so I decided to create a little pumpkin friend to scream up the moment! Remember to be safe and have A Funky (and freaky…) night!

Kickstarter now live for the Leucochloridium plush! I had this smaller prototype made already, but the final plush is going to be BIGGER and more realistically proportioned!
You can preorder a plush, an enamel pin, or a combo of both for the next 30 days. The plush will need a couple thousand dollars in factory costs alone, but if successful, there’ll be at least 100 of them made with some left over that I’ll put up on etsy by fall/winter!
