*pokes Rat* bluetongue.gif

The time I remember talking about this most was talking about Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium in pop. bio (and ecology, and general bio, and vert. zoo. and genetics, and probably more times I'm forgetting [you really get tired of it after a while]), which has a number of assumptions. If any of those are violated, evolution occurs. So a population in equilibrium doesn't have changing allele frequencies. If any assumptions are violated, the frequency will change, and evolution occurs. And adaption is a form of evolution as well. An organism has a particular trait that's particularly favorable so it survives better, so its offspring have it, possibly in a more favorable form than before, and so on. As is mutation (which is one of the assumptions, that there's no mutation), which can change the allele frequencies when it occurs, even more if it's favorable.

Aye, the rock thing is fairly much general knowledge. A lot of the other questions have been pretty obscure, hehe. Zoo got to it first, though. sad.gif

Well, I was waiting for a confirmation even though I know that's the answer, but here goes:

How many fins does a characin have? Name the different kinds of fins on them. (My characins are playing right now biglaugh.gif . Not seen that before.)

I don't think I even know what a characin is o.O But i'm going to guess four; Blinky, Pinky, Inky and Clyde.

Never heard of them either.
I have trademarked the symbol: '™'. You fail at display names.



^ Thanks to Nazy for the... thingy ^

Things which you should look at:

SKoA - http://skoa.cspacezone.com/ , if you have any Age of Empires games.

The DS Garden Festival Minigame - Link , whether you play DStorm or not.

The Most Mysterious SSSS - Link For people who don't care about...things.

Like LEGO? Play Blockland!

Yeah, sorry about taking so long to finally get on, but I've been spending the last few days moving everything out of the old place since it finally sold.

And yeah, Zoo was right bluetongue.gif

And as for the question...I have no idea o_O

Feed the plushie!
(Rayquaza plushie? WTF? It doesn't look anything like the other plushies!)

Through our bleeding we are one.

Ok, looks like I was too obscure icon_sweatdrop.gif . A characin is a kind of fish (well, you might have figured that from the fins), also known as tetras. They have 8 fins: caudal, anal, 2 pelvic, 2 pectoral, dorsal, and one special to their family, the adipose fin, which is a little fin on the back in front of the tail.
