Winter bugs called snow fleas are born in icy waters and feed on algae that grows on snow. Spring-tails are also called snow fleas and they leap around on snow banks. They eat the sap which oozes from trees. Spring-tails look very similar to fossils of 300 million years ago!
Genome reveals unity in diversity
Genome reveals unity in diversity New research on the human genome shows that all
humans, regardless of race, are 99% identical. The human genome
only contains about 30,000 genes - the same number as corn. Think
of that next time you're eating corn! Scientists discovered that
humans carried genes from 200 different bacteria. "We knew that
genes jumped between bacteria, but not that they jumped between
bacteria and man." FEBRUARY 13, 2001
