While it may be ok for making pants and shirts, cottonseed oil is truly not safe to consume. The majority of cotton plants are genetically modified - altered at the molecular level. Even though we are not eating the cotton plant directly, the extracted oil contains the same properties as th...
Alternatively, inversions may occur first and then alleles that modify the sex ratio may migrate to inverted regions. Females without inversions should then evolve more male-biased production as an evolutionary response, with the expectation being that the genotype heterozygous for the inversions is ...
Is there such a thing as "a balanced diet"? Why or why not? Is there is one diet that should be recommended to everyone? What variables may affect this? Why do hairs grow at different rates? How efficient is the metabolism of lithotrophs, relative to organotrophs?
To observe these things is not to make light of the plight of the pupfish or the Great Barrier Reef. Nor is it to suggest that we should not attempt to slow global warming. But it is to ask: What is nature for? What do we need from it and what do we owe it? I’m inclined ...
1. However, we have also identified major gaps in knowledge in important areas that should be pursued in future research. More clinical neuroimaging studies are required to validate previous literature and to expand the overall knowledge of HD circuitopathy, verifying neural responses during all ...
Should You Avoid It? While it is true that the evidence is contradictory and confusing, there is enough negative scientific evidence to sound alarm bells. Vitamin E has been found to be an equally good preservative, with non of the side effects of BHT, so it seems absurd that we are co...
Thus, counseling their parents should make it possible to reduce the risk of premature death from COPD by advising parents not to smoke (and, thus, avoid exposing their children to secondary smoke inhalation) and to educate the youngsters about the special hazards smoking poses for them. What ...
“natural” mammalian epialleles, since they have yet been only observed in animals in which a transposon has been inserted upstream of the Agouti coding sequence, leading to overexpression of the Agouti gene and modulation of the mice coat color. In these genetically identical mice, the ...
There is no reason these things should be happening at the same time on the same planet. But they do happen. On our planet. Inaccessibility People in the field have a lot of different views on what's causing the price of biotech to be so much higher than its cost. And they're all ...
s easier for them to inspire audiences when some of the problems they deal with are the same problems we deal with. We may not be able to do everything Superman can do, but we can use the gifts and talents we have to help people the same way he does. We can make our world ...
