The Los Angeles Raiders won Super Bowl XVIII in 1984, Super Bowl XXXV in 2001, and Super Bowl XLVIII in 2003.

Keep reading for more information on how many…

Unless you have been living under a rock, you would know that the answer to this question is NO. A number of key experiments have shown that in many cell types mitosis removes chromosomes from one set and adds them to the other. If this is true, then we should never see cells with both copies of a chromosome (i.e., diploid), right? Wrong! There are numerous examples of mitotic cells with two copies of chromosomes. These results cause serious problems for our understanding of how mitotic cells work, as they imply there must be another mechanism to produce diploidy in…

Some animals built their own habitats in the form of burrows, while others live among the trees or reside in hollows. Even so, all types of land animals require certain conditions to thrive. While some may be more adapted to one type of habitat than another, they all share one thing: how do land animals create methane? When it comes to methane production by land animals, things get a little tricky. Most people…
