The Leuser Ecosystem is the last remaining place where Sumatran #orangutans, elephants, and tigers co-exist naturally, and thus has high biodiversity significance. New biodiversity maps released by @globalforests helps prioritize areas for #conservation. https://t.co/gm28KO6wBB
This tweet is describing #ecologicalsuccession by saying how plants will evovle and eventually be a part of a climax community. https://t.co/g55FyPHycH
Hey @Shark_Katharine I was wondering why you have been so far off the coast lately? While the rest the Sharks have been near the coast.π¦ @OCEARCH@ChrisOCEARCH
Each Galapagos Island finch species have differences such as beak length and size depending on their food source. Smaller beaked finches eat smaller seeds compared to large beaked finches whom eat larger seeds. #Galapagos#DarwinsTheoryofEvolution
Darwin's finches are an endemic species to the Galapagos Islands (Endemic Species - A species only found in one area). #Darwinstheoryfevolution#EndemicSpecies
First, scientists insert Bacillus thuringiensis (fights off Lepidoptera larvae) into the plasmid of a bacteria. Eventually after being palced into the corn, the gene splices into the cornβs DNA and creates a recombinant DNA. #GMO#RecombinantDNA
Zika is a virus that is transmitted by mosquitoes. If a pregnant mother has the zika virus it will be passed down to their offspring. The #zika virus causes many birth defects such as a small head.

Color blindness is a #sexlinked trait in which you can't decipher which color is which. It is found on the X chromosome and is more likely in males because they carry one X chromosome.
The differences between plant cloning and animal cloning are
1. Animal cloning has three parents while plant cloning has one parent
2. There are no egg cells in plant cloning
3. Multiple cells are required for plant cloning
