Environment GMOs allow plants to be modified to grow in environments that would be normally inhospitable. Genetically modifying crops improve their cold tolerance. Unexpected frost can destroy sensitive seedlings. An antifreeze gene from cold water fish has been introduced into plants such as tobacco and potato and strawberries. With this antifreeze gene‚ these plants are able to tolerate cold temperatures that normally would kill unmodified seedlings. Because the plants can survive in harsher

Phylum: Porifera A sponge has differentiated cells and functionally distinct layers. The ameobocytes secrete spicules which stack up together to make the sponge. The choanocytes are composed of a flagellum and a collar (collar cells). The amoebocytes and choanocytes are the work force of the sponge--they create the body of the sponge. The major sponge groups of today had an ancestor in the Cambrian period. The sponges reproduce either sexually or asexually. When they reproduce sexually‚ they

Amblyomma life cycle includes four stages: the egg‚ larva‚ nymph with only one nymphal instar‚ and adult. All ticks feed on blood during some or all stages in their lifetime because they are considered obligate ectoparasites. Furthermore‚ Amblyomma larvae attack hosts‚ feed‚ detach‚ and develop in sheltered microenvironments where they molt to nymphs. Similarly‚ nymphs will seek hosts‚ feed‚ drop‚ and molt to adults. After reaching adulthood‚ ticks will again seek for hosts to feed‚ and in the case

of bird‚ the wheater‚ benefited from the behaviour of rabbits as they use discarded rabbit holes for nesting. An insect that relies on the rabbit population is the minotaur beetle. The dung produced by the rabbits is used by the minotaur beetle larvae for food. Rabbits act as competition for the brown hare‚ other herbivores and other grazing animals as they all compete for food and territory. The scratching around for food and burrowing of the rabbits exposed areas of bare chalk‚ which encouraged
