Looking at many good examples on the internet or television about these energy-efficient buildings‚ I feel that if we have the technology‚ why wouldn’t we do something to save us from the increasing shortage of energy? It is easy and if we change all our old style utilities‚ we can live more comfortably

two organisms with the same set of genes. In that sense‚ identical twins are clones‚ because they have identical DNA. Sometimes‚ plants are self-pollinated‚ producing seeds and eventually more plants with the same genetic code. Some forests are made entirely of trees originating from one single plant; the original tree spread its roots‚ which later sprouted new trees. When earthworms are cut in half‚ they regenerate the missing parts of their bodies‚ leading to two worms with the same set of genes
