When should one use the homework tag?
A point in the linked meta post says-
A question that addresses a basic biology concept that may seem trivial to biology professionals
A 'basic biology concept', there's no mention about the level.
Looking at the diverse branches of biology, a general biological knowledge should be one of high school level?
A recent question was tagged homework.
The MCQ structure of the post might have triggered the edit.
I wonder what level of knowledge is considered (very) basic by biologists here to put questions under homework.
I think there are many questions, especially about evolution posted by people with little or no biological background but are not tagged as homework.
NB: The question wasn't an assignment.

An example I was looking for.

Q: Can we use the ovum extracts to anti aging?

Yuanhao I am interest in biology and anti-aging,and i have learnt some knowledge about aging by myself.Now i m know senescence associated with epigenetics,and cell reprogramming can make the cell dedifferentiation,even make cells look younger.Scientists have made the premature mice live longer by partial...

This has two spam flags
I'd appreciate it if you don't decline them until they retract them
 
> It is know that egg cells and oocytes have much more inducing factors and maternal factors, which like Oct4,Sox 2,Klf4 and c-Myc,so if it is possible that we could use the egg cells or oocytes extracts by intravenous injection or other ways to defer senescence?
 
They're mistaken SmokeDetector autoflags.
 
Looks like a nice summer holiday experiment
I'll upvote it

What species of duck is this?
I know I'm usually pretty good at these, but this one has me stumped...
