Seed

Ants use the seeds as a food source and in turn the seeds are protected during forest fires, which are common in the arid climate of Australia. Some seeds from plants, such as desert raisins and jack pine, actually require very hot temperatures or smoke in order to germinate. (Thuiller, Slingsby, cowling, Privett 2007) Forest fires eliminate…

natural source of food is by having different beak sizes, this cn lead to speciation. If species began to use different habitats within the same area, assuming that one area has the species that feeds on bigger seeds and the other areas has the species that feed on the smaller seeds. Speciation may occur due to genetic isolation , which will cause lack of gene flow. Then divergence from each other may occur due to speciation. Similar to the mockingbird species on the Galapagos island, they…

better yield of crops at the end of the harvesting season (Seeds). With more harvested goods, they could feed more people. Logically, this is a positive advancement for the chinese farmers, however, this desire for increased efficiency would later be driven by greed. Over ninety-three percent of corn crops use GMO seeds. The companies that produce these seeds need to have much more strict regulations, because…

that the seeds, which are patented, cost a lot more than conventional and traditional seeds” (Chopra 64) then follows up with specific data stating that these GM seeds are “anywhere from three to eight times as much as the cost of conventional hybrid seed’ (Chopra 64) not only that her but her explanations are strategically placed right after…

The changes in species have been explored by many scientists, but Charles Darwin was the first to support his findings on the existence of evolution with abundant evidence. Darwin later came to develop the theory of evolution after his voyage on the HMS Beagle to South America in 1831 for five years. Darwin was an English geologist and naturalist who proposed that organisms have had physical and behavioral changes over time to increase reproductive success and to better adapt to the environment.…

They say necessity is the mother of invention, and that's certainly true of 'Yes Bar' creator, Abigail Wald. Frustrated with always having to say “no” to her child with food allergies, she rolled up her sleeves, got into the kitchen, and created a yummy treat she could proudly say “yes” to. I had the pleasure of interviewing Abigail a few months ago. (http://itoldyouiwassick.info/2015/11/23/when-food-allergies-said-no-one-mom-said-yes-an-interview-with-yes-bar-creator-abigail-wald/). During…

After giving birth to a baby, the main and most important concern of a women is about her milk supply to nourish her new born. Some mothers stop breastfeeding after some days worrying about their weak/low milk supply. And let their infants rely on unnatural bottled milk. Breastfeeding is not only good for your infant but it also strengthen the immune system of the mother and reduces the risk of breast cancer. Home remedies are always the best natural ways to prevent many problems one of which…

The allergy concern sparks because there is gene escape that occurs when GMOs are engineered. Gene escape occurs when a seed is engineered, and an unwanted gene is transferred to the product seed from the genetical composition of the engineering seed. The significance of this is that now there is a new gene/characteristic in the food that wasn 't precent before. This gene that is now newly present in the food can potentially cause food…

good fruit(s) and hollow seeds? We’ve lost O’ so many seeds along life’s way, Is it even necessary to give of ourselves and produce some of the same? The environment encourages obstruction if she attempts to sow her seed, For forty days and forty nights not a cloud in the sky nor rainbow in-sight, Which causes chaos and disease in the tumbleweed, she breeds. Leaving no room for an increase! Nature frequents the winds, scattering the ‘African Tumbleweed’ and all her seeds, Spinning them to…

This company produces seeds that resist herbicides and weed killers, by using biotechnology. Once the seeds are planted and grown, the food is then genetically modified. Mostly 27% of genetically modified crops made in the world come from farmers that use their seeds (Kimbrell). There are many signs that the way Monsanto runs their company seems strange. For example, they require every farmer to sign a detailed contract stating they must re-purchase new seeds after a year. This example is…
