Okay. I'm fully pissed off by the two passersby and I have deleted ALL the messages. Hopefully this won't happen again.

To the passersby, if you really have strong opinions of our class, go rant about them in your own blog. Our blog is not for you to blaspheme and crap at. So, either keep your comments to yourself, or go rant somewhere else.

We are RGS girls. We have a sense of pride and friendship for our classmates. You're probably spamming 'cause you're jealous of what we at RG have. If that's the case, keep your comments and stuff it.

Okay rant over. (:

Here are a few definitions for the Bio 'glossory'. xD I don't have the whole list as I copied down only those I don't have. :D

Taxonomy is the practice and science of classification.

Homologous traitsare those which species have in common because they have descended from a common ancestor.

Magnification is the process of enlarging something only in appearance, not in physical size. Magnification is also a number describing by which factor an object was magnified.

Antibodies are Y-shaped proteins that are found in blood or other bodily fluids of vertebrates, and are used by the immune system to identify and neutralize foreign objects, such as bacteria and viruses.

An epidemic is a classification of a disease that appears as new cases in a given human population, during a given period, at a rate that substantially exceeds what is "expected," based on recent experience (the number of new cases in the population during a specified period of time is called the "incidence rate").

A pandemic is an epidemic (an outbreak of an infectious disease) that spreads across a large region (for example a continent), or even worldwide.

Aseptic technique refers to a procedure that is performed under sterile conditions.

The streak plate method is a rapid and simple technique of mechanically diluting a relatively large concentration of microorganisms to a small, scattered population of cells.

Staining is a biochemical technique of adding a class-specific (DNA, proteins, lipids, carbohydrates) dye to a substrate to qualify or quantify the presence of a specific compound.

Hydrophilic refers to something that has the physical property of a molecule that can transiently bond with water through hydrogen bonding.

Hydrophobic refers to something that has the physical property of a molecule that is repelled from a mass of water.
