Many wonder how this 180 degree transformation is possible, but broken down it is much simpler to comprehend. Monarch butterflies lay their milky white eggs on milkweed, insuring…
The State of Affairs in Africa has always created stereo-types as a doomed continent with unavoidable tribal conflict and ethnic cleavages. It’s hard to understand why there were so many wars and instability in Africa in the late 90’s. Over the last four decades, nearly twenty African countries in the Sub-Saharan Africa area have experienced at least one form of war. The biggest and deadliest war was the Rwandan genocide. Most of the wars occurred because of influences Europeans had on African…
stage after three days. The female cypris has "...sense organs on her legs that can catch the scent of the host" (Zimmer, 2000). The cypris will then attach to the body of the crab through a antenna. The larva will shed its body and become a mass of cells which then infiltrates the crabs body through the antenna. The mass of cells migrate to the mid-gut of the crab, where tendril like looks will spread across the crab's organs and will start to absorb nutrients from the crab (Day, 1935). The…
