Slow Water=slow Sound?
a: A muffler ~
b: the pool at the bottom of a waterfall
What: "Put another way, a muffler is like the pool at the bottom of a waterfall. A massive stream of loud, boisterous water falls in, but a slow, steady stream of water flows out. The key to designing a muffler is understanding how best to contain each shockwave without limiting the flow of the hot exhaust gases."

a: autosome ~
b: two decks of cards
What: "A crude analogy is that an autosome is like a deck of cards. A pair of autosomes is like two decks of cards. When it comes time to pass along an autosome, the decks are shuffled together and then divided exactly in half. and one of those new decks is the autosome that is passed on by that parent. For each child the shuffle and cut procedure is repeated. No two decks will be exactly alike. This is the third class."

a: rna polymerase ~
