>>8950453
Legitimate answer, because males are at high risk of dying during mating and females are at high risk of death during child birth. And I don't mean high risk like 50%, I mean like 99%. They don't raise their offspring, so no knowledge is passed down and no language is even formed. If they didn't die in childbirth and behaved like dolphins (and they are neurologically capable), they'd probably become a rival species in a few hundred generations, especially if aided by humanity.

You do realize that's not what biology is though, correct? And a potential meaning behind the OP could be that systems that end up with organs that are far and gone from mammalian organs have a lot yet to be discovered?

Maybe the discussion is that there are a lot of levels of analysis that can be done on what selection pressures would favor some of the phenotypes shown?

Or, perhaps it could be a leadin to a question of what kind of genes were mutated to produce the organs seen in the octopus, which ones are likely homologous and which ones are homoplaisic to mammals (hint: With octopi, it's actually incredibly interesting, their evolutionary track and how much independently evolved with similar function to mammals).

Or maybe it's a systematic approach, discussing the physiological means behind the function of the octopus. What chemical is synthesized for their ink, how is it done, what are the involved enzymes, how can those enzymes be mimicked by commercial means, what kind of tissues are involved in the creation of a vacuum with suction cups, how much force can they withstand, how can similar polymers be synthesized using their suction cups as models, etc.

Enormous, revolutionary, and unprecedented prediction power for biology. It is the means for biology to transform into a full-fledged hard science rather than sitting on the fence between hard and soft.

In the next couple decades, it will be mandatory for a biologist to know NCBI, Ensembl, etc. inside and out like an engineer to Autocad or Solid Edge. Oh, and likely need to know a programming language relevant to their field like Perl for PCR funsies.
>>
>>8957699
Essential stuff too, without fields like computational chemistry and bioinformatics we wouldn't be able to make effective fucking medicines, its used to elucidate the structure of enzyme receptors for drugs for example. Its helpful to see the shit you talk theory about in a 3 dimensional representation, this is just one use of the field which is now necessary for our existence. Fields like bioinformatics will prove invaluable to the superbug shit happening rn and as of the future.

Oh my nig, I get a bit of flack for taking compsci with Biotech from both sides and chemfags, environmental, earth science and all the fields that require bio don't seem to share any interest in computational sciences either which is sort of disappointing, it can get lonely at times.

Also did you know the guy who invented PCR doesn't think AIDS is caused by HIV and climate change is an over-hyped conspiracy perpetuated by environmentalists ayy.

No, if you luck out and happen to find a PI that has a grad student that get's a hit (very very rare now, outside of catalysis) you might find a successful academic career. Most grad work in chemistry these days is really drag mechanistic stuff.

Industry at least holds validation, which is probably the most enduring of scientific proof that we work at today. Protocol development and process validation is actually what would interest a motivated scientist most.

What a thoughtful reply. Even if I don't know how industry works, it doesn't change what I've seen and heard from peers, older students and professors, that is many biochemists work in industry.
Of course, as I've already said, this might be different for you. Maybe you live in an area that doesn't have a lot of biotech companies, or maybe you just went to a shitty university.

Out of my ass.

Taking into account that molluscs are a giant mass of muscles, the ancestor of Cephalopoda maybe was pretty much like Nautilus or Planorbis, but as these species propagated, time added diversity of forms, one of these was that the "feet" that formed the mollusc started to subdivide into extremities that were as muscular as the rest of the body, more evolution added finer control and a need to grapple and secure prey so those that started to develop suckers were chosen over the rest.

If I'm right you are looking at a giant, very modified "snail" that has one feet divided in 8 tentacles that just happen to have suckers.

some bastard mutated with something similar to tentacles and it helped him survive, so that trait continued among individuals

Half of you wouldn't even be shitposting about how soft biology is if it weren't for biologists fucking around making vaccines, deriving antibiotics from fungi, and making your food/environment you live in not garbage because of the application of their studies.

I have so much fun doing field work and the pay is pretty decent for being outside so frequently. I can actually see the application of my work in the environment rather than just publishing a paper and constantly begging for grants.

Just got back from the uc research station in big sur where I dove in kelp forests all day and did mushrooms under redwoods and soaked in sulphur springs by night.
it was awful I quit my masters and am starting back at square one to become a chemist. I'm supposed to go back to that shithole. I just want to kill myself

so the more chemistry ish it gets the harder?
lol I've always enjoyed spectroscopy and chromatography, this is such a cute image though I love it

A physfag or CS version would be neat.

At the undergrad level, a degree in biology (or any flavor) will be mostly rote memorization. As you go towards biochemistry, you'll have more coursework in biophysical chemistry or physical chemistry, analytical chemistry, etc. Not to say that this class is tremendously mathematically rigorous (you can get by with diff Eqs), but I wouldn't say it's all rote memorization. On the other had, most tracks in evolutionary biology and ecology are rote memorization.

Have that textbook in my collection. Not my favorite, but it's kewl. The go-to textbook for first-semester biophysical chemistry in grad school (read: Biophysics 101) is Molecular Driving Forces by Ken Dill.

>There is nobody who will hire you with biochemistry. You're basically the same as an english major unless your daddy has contacts.
Don't agree with this. Not to say that you'll have a ton of opportunities, but you should be able to get hired as a lab tech in academia. Your odds of getting much in pharma or biotech that's not shitty QC/QA work are low. So you get a few years of experience under your belt, and then you're in business. My buddies and I needed to get that first gig, but after that we all went off to do a number of different things (grad school, med school, industry R&D, business development in pharma, consulting, etc.). I think that's the key with the biochem degree, it is getting that first post-undergrad experience. I wouldn't say you'll have as many opportunities as an engineering major, but you'll be better off than english or humanities majors.

i fucking hate bio so much, all the multiple choice Qs are retarded and any answer could work, long answers have a million workable answers but if you don't have one specific thing you get marked down

Here is some real science
>journal.frontiersin.org/article/10.3389/fevo.2017.00003/full

>Due to the loss of the initial behavioral plasticity that allowed the animals to adopt the new behavior, the persistence of that behavior—and thus of the epigenetic/genetic anatomical features related to it—might become counterproductive when the external environment is changed, as is the case of pandas and the lack of available bamboo. At one moment in time, the ancestors of pandas did not eat bamboo, but then were able to perform a behavioral shift in order to eat it successfully. But, for some reason, extant pandas do no longer seem to have the ability to perform a new major behavioral shift/choice to substantially decrease their consumption of bamboo. >In some cases, lack of behavioral plasticity may in turn depend reciprocally on the presence of, e.g., anatomical and/or genetic features that were selected within the context of the behavior acquired during the initial behavioral shift. For instance, the overspecialization of the “panda's thumb” might not allow pandas to revert to the more generalized type of diet that their ancestors had. Apart from natural selection (i.e. after the pandas started to mainly eat bamboo those random mutations that happened to be advantageous within that niche were selected), the lack of plasticity could also be enhanced by phenomena such as genetic drift, i.e., to a random sampling of those organisms that had those genetic features.

>Due to the loss of the initial behavioral plasticity that allowed the animals to adopt the new behavior, the persistence of that behavior
Take this and consider the way human social behavoir emerged and the way our society has evolved to the point of complex-adaptive behavoir where we are sufficiently enslaved to it. The anthropocene and evolutionary traps. The beginning was the end. Only holistic self-awareness can save us.
