jeph:
this thread is now about chromatophores.

Ally:
Actually this thread seems like a really good place to put a helpful pneumonic device that I up with while studying for my bio test today! Sadly, I didn't get to use it on the actual test. I do seem to have made biology history, though.

It's very simple; when you need to remember the different methods for preservation of variation in the gene pool, just remember, "dick boob nipple penis."

Dick = diploidy
Boob = balanced polymorphism (specifically, heterozygote advantage aka hybrid vigor and frequency-dependent selection)
Nipple = neutral variation
Penis = pleiotropy

If you are ever in a bind, just think! Dick boob nipple penis!

jhocking:
I only remember what one of those 4 means. I do not miss studying for tests at all.

calenlass:
Man I am a biology major and I do not know what any of those are. What the fuck kind of biology are you taking, Ally?
