hey at least once your code is correct it'll stay that way. You won't have to deal with things like old and new versions of your program disagreeing on what time it was in Iran for the last month and a half of 1978

Broke: Whales are fish because they look like other fish

Woke: Whales aren't fish because they're in the class Mammalia, not Pisces

Bespoke: Whales are fish because any monophyletic group that encompasses all the fishes must also include the clade Tetrapoda

Artichoke: Whales aren't fish because fishes are a paraphyletic group that includes the entire clade Vertebrata at the exclusion of the clade Tetrapoda.

Stick and Poke: Whales are fish because they've developed the same bodyplan and are in the same ecological niche as the pelagic fishes.

Fun fact: Animal embryos can be disassociated by depriving them of calcium (E-cadherin, the molecule that holds the cells together, needs to calcium to work) and then can be allowed to reassociate by adding back calcium. If you do this in early enough stages then the embryo will function and develop normally once reaggregated, despite all the cells being jumbled up

In cases of cellular stress p53 is activated via phosphorylation. It will then direct the cell to pause its division and to either undergo DNA repair or kill itself. p53 is one of the body's most important defences against cancer. Mutations causing p53 dysfunction are found in more than half of cancer cases.
