Since DNA was discovered in 1935, humankind has made incredible bounds in the field of genetics. Recently scientists from the National Taiwan University's Department of Animal Science and Technology have discovered a way to make pigs glow in the dark by using the genetic material of a jellyfish. What they did was extract the genetic material of a jellyfish and inject it into the embryos of pigs in the hopes that the pigs would be born green, and they were. The three pigs that they were…
movement of the river. The reservoir is typically warmer in the winter than a natural river cause a disturbance in the chemicals and minerals in the water (Dams and Water Quality). Dams contribute to blockage of fish that need to migrate to their breeding grounds to lay eggs. Since most of the fish can’t make it there due to dams, very few young fish are born and it’s harder for the young fish to make it to the sea or ocean. The moral principles that would apply to help reverse these effects…
Introduction The purpose of this manuscript is to have a conversation about California, its droughts, and how agriculture is affected and how it can be amended to survive said droughts. I wish to do so by showing what are essentially what kinds of droughts California has face before. I also want to try and show how some other places have attempted to help themselves through their own methods by going through what they did for those and what they attempted to do in case of other future droughts.…

were in such poor condition. (Defenders of Wildlife) By the 1970s, the Red Wolf was reduced to a very small population. A breeding program was established in Eastern Texas to help this problem. Fourteen animals that were thought to be pure bread Red Wolves were selected. The breeding program began at Point Defiance Zoo and Aquarium. (National Parks) In 1976, the breeding program was used to test how the Red Wolf would be affected after being reintroduced into the wild. They released two…
A platypus… isn’t it an odd creature? After all, a platypus is like an odd mixture of many animals that have evolved during time, so it’s weird looking. In my opinion, I think a platypus is a great animal since it’s unique and they’re adorable… in my eyes at least. I chose a platypus as my animal for the Geometric Shapes Project because I used to watch a show with a platypus being a secret agent and wearing a sombrero, and I found that adorable. In my opinion, I think that platypuses are odd, so…
In the early days of the 20th century, communication was only identified as a physical activity and was limited to face-to-face interactions. This restricted communication made interaction limited and hence, social activities and relationships thrived on physical meet ups. Owing to the shortcoming that arose as a result of inaccessible means of communication, several types of social meet up events were designed around this fact. The elite families of the Victorian era, arranged events like…
in reality, which vary greatly from what is expect. Although they are religious, well-learned, and of noble breeding, the nobles fall prey to traitorous persuasions, while commoners maintain complete loyalty. In Henry’s other speeches, he continues to draw out the unexpected similarities between upper and lower classes. Henry tells his soldiers “that you [commoners] are worth your breeding,” which is often a description of nobility, as nobility is based on birthright and breading (3.1.28). The…
Once common, this species has started to decline across much of its range from Queensland to northern NSW; it is most commonly found in Southern Queensland, in places such as Hervey Bay, Sunshine Coast and Moreton Bay. Its preferred habitats are tidal rivers and the intertidal flats of estuaries and bays, which are lined with mangroves and have sandy to muddy bottoms. The population decrease has been caused from a combination of habitat degradation, mortality from commercial and recreational…
Prior to the Industrial Revolution, the world economy was slow and had a low standard of living. It took longer to transport goods, there was no middle working class, and everything had to be hand produced in cottage industries. However, after the Industrial Revolution, the world economy excelled, and the standard of living skyrocketed. Great Britain enjoyed this standard of living, due to good harvests and flourishing sea trade. The standard of living, allowed for the growth of the population,…
