The National Turkey Federation estimates that over ninety-five percent of Americans will eat turkey this Thanksgiving. For several decades researchers have been using science to build a better Thanksgiving turkey. These techniques involve selective breeding and nutrition management.
Many people assume that those big twenty pound turkeys in the grocery stores are a result of hormone injections. This is not the case. Today's big turkeys owe their size to the incorporation of a special diet, vaccinations, and selective breeding. Turkeys with the desired characteristics (big breast muscles) are bred, passing along their genes to their offspring.

Comments (0)Permalink Chromosomes and GenderSaturday November 22, 2008Human cells contain 23 pairs of chromosomes for a total of 46. There are 22 pairs of autosomes and one pair of chromosomes. The chromosomes are the X chromosome and the Y chromosome. These chromosomes determine gender.
Grasshoppers, roaches, and other insects have a similar system for determining the of an individual. males lack a Y chromosome and have only an X chromosome. Birds, insects like butterflies, and some species of fish have a different system for determining gender. In these animals it is the female gamete that determines the of an individual.
What about animals like most kinds of wasps, bees, and ants that have no chromosomes? How is gender determined? Read Chromosomes and Gender to find out!Comments (0)PermalinkCigarette Smoke Changes Shape of the HeartSaturday November 15, 2008 
Public Domain Image
We all know that smoking is bad for the body. Now researchers from the University of Illinois at Chicago have found evidence that cigarette smoke can actually cause the heart to change its shape.
The researchers discovered that exposure to cigarette smoke causes the body to release certain enzymes that are responsible for cell growth. These enzymes, along with increased levels of the hormone norepinephrine, are thought to be responsible for altering the shape of the left ventricle. Researchers believe that the activation of the enzymes is a major factor in the development of cigarette smoke-induced heart injury.
