Bt cotton: contains a gene from a bacterium which produces a toxin that only works against its main pest, the Heliothis larvae. Greatly reduces the amount of pesticide sprayed on cotton crops. The super salmon example from above: I think it was due to insertion of a bovine growth hormone gene...

They all have increased surface area for gas exchange - fish have gill filaments covered with lamellae, frogs are small to maintain a high SA:V ratio and use their skin and basic lungs, while lungs in mammals have extensive branching. They also need to be kept moist. No problem in fish, while...

try and make sure that all, or just about all of your sentences contain something you learnt in the senior course e.g. if you use Wakatta, stuff like ~te imasu, or ~yori, ~te form to join sentences etc. also remember about the typical letter structure. so don't just dive straight into your...

It has to be either ionic or covalent molecular, not both (unless talking about acids in which they are CM but act like ionic when dissolved). To prove that it is ionic, test conductivity when solid (should be nil), then either melt it or dissolve it in water then test, and you should find that...

Lord of the Flies. Definitely. Darkness of man's heart, tendency towards evil and savagery of the human nature etc.

I've interpreted 'Legend' in two different ways. Judith Wright was big on being in harmony with nature, so one way of looking at it is the need to be in harmony in nature, and the powerful force and strength that nature possesses. In the first few stanzas, you can see that the blacksmith's boy...

Almost any text can be related back to the human condition in some way, since almost all of them deal with human experiences and perspectives in some way. One short story I find is quite good is The Gift of the Magi by O. Henry. If you're thinking about poems, have a look at some by Judith...
