Got 9 out of 9. I had to kinda guess on the "good steam" one, but that one seemed the most awkward so I went with that.
I had heard of the gene before but I couldn't remember what animal it was from, so I guessed and got it wrong. Same deal with the Macy's balloon parade thingamabob. Everything else I got right though.
Got a perfect 9 out of 9. Wasn't that hard, but I had to really think about the sonic hedgehog homolog (shh) gene question. For some reason I was thinking hedgehogs, but since that wasn't an answer I was left to my crappy memory. Good thing it wasn't that crappy after all! ...is this an official quiz?
Wait, so it's not a horses and horses and horses gene? :v: That explains why those scientific articles I read were coming across so oddly. (Also, I did a tiny citation fistpump.)
9/9 I must be the "bestest" fan ever. I swear almost 4 of the questions I pretty much blindly chose.. On the gene one I simply went for a wild guess of "don't recall the gene being in an animal" so I went with the fruit flies. I didn't know squat of the parade year so I went with the older one. I did think the steam one was obvious.
8 of 9. It would've been 7 out of 9 if I didn't guess Altered Beast, I mean how can you not WISE FWOM YOUR GWAVES?
Only missed the gene one because, though I heard about the gene (and its inhibitor, Robotnikinin), I never actually heard where they were found.
I only got the gene one wrong. I have read about the Sonic-hedgehog protein before but I couldn't remember which animal it was in.
