- 26973: Multiple Births
- ... give birth to fraternal twins. The birth of twins can occur in two different ways, the fertilization of a single egg or the fertilization of two eggs. In the case of dizygotic twins, the woman's ovaries release two eggs about the same time instead of one, with each being fertilized by the male's sperm, fraternal twins begin to develop. The two zygotes develop differently, each having a different genetic coding. They can be both boys, both girls, or a single boy and a single girl. Because each embryo ... so rare that accurate statistics cannot be made while compared to the total amount of births around the world. In all of these forms of multiple pregnancies, the process is very similar. If the woman's ovaries release four or five eggs then the birth of quadruplets or quintuplets will arise. If the cell divides into four of five structures will then cause the pregnancy of identical quadruplets or quintuplets. ...

- ... realize the necessity of a population plan which will make our future more optimistic. This plan must be based on the fact that the control of the rapid population growth is necessary globally; otherwise, earth s environment will be put into greater danger, the overexploitation of natural resources will continue and poverty will rise in most of the world s countries.

This was the only outbreak of the virus to go outside the continent of Africa. This Reston strain of Ebola appears to be highly pathogenic for some monkey species but not for ... First the virus is easily destroyed by disinfectants (Ebola Info. from the CDC 3). Also, under ultraviolet light the virus falls apart. This ultraviolet light smashes their genetic material making them unable to replicate. Ebola's virulence may also serve to limit its speed: its victims die so quickly that they do not have a chance to spread the infection very far. In order for the virus to become airborne ...
