Text Antarctica
Antarctica is mainly known for the penguins and seals that live there, but recently
scientists have discovered the remains of two dinosaurs that lived there millions of
years ago. These are not the first dinosaur fossils that have been discovered in
Antarctica. The first new discovery was a plant-cating dinosaur which was found
by a mountain climber Scientists that examined the fossils say it is a plant-cating
dinosaur that is nearly 200 million years old. The parts of the animal they
examined suggest that it was nine metres long and two metres tall. Dinosaurs
which have been found in other parts of the world are as long as 30 metres,
however So this specimen, the discovery of which has excited researchers is rather
smal. On the other side of Antarctica, dinosaurs bones that were discovered by
accident have also proved interesting. This second dinosaur was a meat-eater
which stood about two meters tall. Scientists who were sheltering from bad
weather found the bones near the sea. The dinosaur they discovered, whose bones
were next to fossils of sea life, probably died and was washed out to sea after its
death. Dinosaurs are creatures that could not survive in cold conditions, but in their
time, Antarctica was different. It didn't have the cold climate it has today, but was
warm and wet.

In every cell of the human body there is almost two meters of genetic information
that is tightly packed into pieces called chromosomer.Humans have 46
chromosomes -23 from cach partent.These chromosomen contain coding for
approximately 25,000 genes.However,this only accounts for a small amount of the
3,bittion nocleotides in our DNA sequence. The rest are not thought to code.It is
the information in these genes that determine many of our characteristics,for
exmple eye color,hair types,shoe sire,height and many more. In the 1850s and
1860s a scientist called Gregor Mendel was very curious about exactly we inherit
characteristics were combined to create new characteristics.I fowever we now
know that it isn't the case.Mendel conducted experiments using pea plants to
investigate exactly how genes are passed down from generation to generation.
Gregor Mended discovered that cach gene has more than one variations are called
alleles. For instance, the gene for eye color has two main alleles;brown and
blue. Gregor Mendel discovered that some alleles are strong than other.The
stronger alleles are known as daminant and the weaker ones as recessive. He
recorded the characteristics in the peas and used them to calculate how many
offspring would display dominant or rocessive traits. Mendel used mathematical
statistics to work out what characteristics the offspring of parents with known
alleles would have.
Mendel’s presented his findings in 1865 but they weren't accepted by the scientific
community at the time and the importance of his work wasn’t recognised until year
after his death.It is thanks to Mendel’s work that genetics today can predict the
likelihood of genetic diseases or certain characteristics in children. This help
parents be aware of how likely it is they will pass on certain conditions are to their
children, This in turn has paved the way to modern techniques such as gene editing
and the future posability of designer babies.
