I was hoping that someone could give me a brief overview of the differences between a morphogen and an inducer. It is my understanding that morphogens play a more significant role during the determination phase and inducers play a more significant role during the differentiation phase. Is this...

thanks.

Hello SND family, I just finished my first semester at UMD, College Park with a 3.35 GPA. I've applied for the SMDEP sites for this upcoming summer, and I'm CNA/GNA certified. I'm a 19 year old African American male with dreams of becoming a Physician one day. I'm taking BSCI 105...

“Oral contraceptive pills (OCPs) are simply estrogen/progesterone (or progesterone-only) preparations. These block conception by inhibiting LH and FSH release through negative feedback, thereby inhibiting ovulation. When a woman takes the placebo pills at the end of the month, withdrawal...

Hi Everyone! I am looking at taking some science pre-reqs for med school, to make sure I can handle them and also to (hopefully) boost my undergraduate gpa. Has anyone taken the following courses online through Athabasca, and, if so, what are your thoughts on them? BIOL 204 & 205 - Principles...

I wanted to take either biology or chemistry this semester but both courses were completely filled so my only option is to take biochemistry. I have never taken a chemistry or bio class. Would it be hard for me if i took biochemistry with no prior course knowledge of the information?

Hi, I am a freshman currently in a "mid-year crisis". I am a biology major, however I just don't see what I will be able to do with it if I don't get into med school. I am considering switching over to business administration pre-med or chemistry pre-med. Which do you think will be the most...

Bought the Dr. Collins for the January PCAT. It really helped me get the 90 percentile from 40 percentile the last time. Just send me a message if your are interested. Thanks

Hello everyone, So I heard there are a lot of good notes on a website called predds.net but all I keep getting is: Even when I click blogs posts through Google, it leads me to this. :boom: I am really sick of seeing this smiling lady..:bang: Can anyone please tell me if there is another...

Hi everyone, I am really confused on how to get started retaking courses now that I am already graduated. I registered at a CC in Florida because it had two of the courses I needed and now they are telling me that the state law says I cannot retake these courses because I passed them with a C...

Hi everyone, I have a few courses that I received a C in and would like to retake them. The CCs in Florida do not allow retakes (and I am not sure if Florida Universities are the same, still waiting on a response). How are other Floridians retaking courses of C or better?

Hello there. I know there are multiple threads out there with answers to questions that are similar to mine. However, I feel as though my situation is different and because of that, I could not seem to find a useful answer in any of the other threads. I am a freshman in College, and I am just...

I'm a high school senior and I got 2 Cs last year. 1 was first semester in AP stats and the other was in first semester of honors anatomy and physiology. I really screwed up first semester and these classes were quite hard for me. But I those were my only Cs ever. I got A+ second semester both...

Hi, I'll be entering University this January. I'll be majoring in Anthropology. It would have been in August but during my senior year in HS I didn't apply to any American Schools. I applied to a bunch of 6 Yr MD programs in Europe. I got into a few of them after the entrance exams but the ones...

Hi! Over the summer I interned in a molecular biology lab at a biotech company. However, this clearly doesn't count as research, and I would eventually like to get some research experience if I decide to go down the MD/PhD route. The thing is that I got invited by the mol bio lab to intern with...

Has anyone tried to narrow down which specific topics in the Biology section are more likely to be asked as a Knowledge of Scientific Concepts and Principles (Skill 1) question? Some intuition regarding this would give my studying (and others') a bit more direction. Thanks!

Good evening SDN, First off I want to apologize for this being my first post, and something that many people may be irritated with seeing (especially on a Friday night). I've been a member on SDN for a little while, scrolling through posts every so often but I haven't really posted or replied...

Hi everyone! I'm sorry for the lengthy post! I am currently a freshman Biology major at the university in which I hope to attend dental school (reason why I am here). I moved to a city from a rural area this August where I was your average high school student. I am a hispanic first generation...
