This question is obsolete because Noone goes into SW coding or testing unless they have a utter total passion for it. Most of the successful coders in the world didn't even go to college ie Bill Gates or John Carmack http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Carmack Do what you love to do man!
The senate is considered the upper house.
Really no different than development in any other language: requirements definition, general design, detail design, coding, testing and implementation.
While learning coding is time-comsuming, it will eventually be worth your while to learn it. Knowing coding gives you the resources to do bigger and more complex programming than if you hadn't taken the time to learn it.
It is called medical coding where it provides a key step in medical process.
The coding is limited to JavaScript, HTML/CSS and SQL and is really nothing more than an introduction to web-based programming.
Number of proteins produced is of course more than the number of coding regions/genes/mRNAs. This is because of biological processes like alternate splicing and other post translational changes.
First of all a gene by definition codes for something so there is no such thing as a "non coding gene". To your question non-coding DNA is no more prone to mutation. A mutation in a non-coding region is far more likely to passed onto offspring because a mutation has no effect on the organism that gets it. A mutation in a gene is more likely to be bad thing than beneficial. So over time (many generations) there are more differences in non coding regions of DNA between individuals. This why DNA fingerprinting looks at differences in non coding regions between people to find unique profiles.
Cycles are more effective than walking for the same period of time, though treadmills can be adjusted for inclines, which make them significantly more demanding.
It pays better than unemployment, even though the hours are more demanding.
yes, in many cases of animal testing animals die and or get very sick during the testing process.
It is actually a ratio scale, which is more demanding than an interval scale.
They are suggestions which the person recommending really thinks would be a very good idea to follow. More demanding than a suggestion but less than a demand.
