DNA is packed in to structures called  chromosomes in animal cells. Male animals have one X chromosome and one Y. Females have two X's. This cats fur is two colors is because females have two X chromosomes so they have different genes coding for fur color.
This could reflect on me if i got a cat with a face that has two different colors.

One method was building a massive base like on the Burj Khalifa in Dubai, the tallest building in the world. Another method is to build the building in a spiral like Shanghai tower in Shanghai China. One other strategy is to leave empty space to allow the wind to pass through the building much better than a normal space like on the 432 park apartment tower in New York City. I think that strategies like these need to be used everywhere so tall buildings can be safer.

That sound causes them to secrete more chemicals that taste bad to bugs. Plants can also communicate by secreting chemicals, also. If bugs start to eat a sagebrush, it releases chemicals that tells the other plants to increase their defenses. Those defenses include chemicals that taste bad to bugs, and also physical responses, like making their tissues tough and hard to chew. Some plants even grow stiff hairs to keep insects away from their "skin." One plant that is very good at communicating is a tree. Underground, a tree's roots connect with fungi; that fungi is also connected to many other trees, forming a physical network which can be a highway for chemicals used to communicate. That includes call for help, which are almost immediately answered with nutrients or defensive chemicals. Trees also have families. The biggest, oldest trees have the most connections. They act like mothers, sending seedlings nutrients and take care of their families. Trees also have day and night cycles, like humans. They raise their branches up during the day, to catch sunlight, and then let their branches droop during the nighttime. Plants even could be called smart. they collect data and use the data to make decisions to their advantage. Studies even show that plants may have a memory of things like bug attacks or cold snaps. Says plant researcher Heidi Appel, "Don't underestimate plants!"

One side of her face is black while the other is orange. This was caused by different x chromosomes being activated in different parts of her body.  The x chromosomes affects the cats coloration of the fur. One side of her face has one x chromosome activated while the opposite side has a different one activated.
This can  happen to people too. In one part of their body they may have white skin and on another part they have darker skin.

She lives in the eastern European country of Belarus, with her owner. Due to changes in Yana's DNA inside her chromosomes, she was given different types of colored fur. While males have one X and one Y chromosome, Females have two X chromosomes. The X chromosome is responsible for the fur color. Since females have two X chromosomes, they can have different colors of fur. But the cells only need one X, so they deactivate the other. Yana however, seems to have kept both of her X chromosomes, and in result got colored fur!

None the less, I think that Yana is a very cute kitty, and I like her better like this. Being unique isn't bad, it just makes you special!

it took this designing duo three years to make tilt a real video game, out of those three years it took two just to come up with an idea for the game and a whole year to make it.
Danny is an illustrator he created all of the characters including captain quill (the main character) 
as where noah in a programmer he made it so the characters could move and everything.
tilt works because noah made it so that the game would communicates with the devices accelerometer.
this really doesn't effect me but it can help anyone who wants to make a video game know that you shouldn't give up yeah it takes sometime to make a video game but its time well spent.
tilt can be downloaded on mobile devices.

They think this because it has some unusual things there. Such as Weird Rocks, Volcanic Acids in the water that makes it highly dangerous to swim in, stinky gas. The place where they found all this, is called Danakil and is found in the desert of Dallol, Ethiopia. During the day temperatures can rise to 53c or 127F. The conditions of Danakil make it so you can't live there. Scientist took samples from the acid pools and Hydrothermal Vents to lear more about Danakil. In conclusion the scientist think that Danakil may be home to lifeforms unlike human because of all the weird stuff there.

When bees sucks up too much nectar it makes it harder to fly, so for it to be a light load the bee releases nectar on to flowers that are down below. They release nectar from there bodies to make the journey a lot easier for them so they don't feel uncomfortable.

The secret behind this weird putty is mixing regular silly putty with graphene, "a single layer of carbon arranged in a honeycomb pattern that is clear and 200 times stronger than steel that can have heat and electricity travel through it." So it is basically a substance equivalent to metal. 
I think this new "invention" would be something I would buy, but not for measuring my heart rate, but for connecting electricity. The only thing I think would make it better would be if it dried like hot glue, but thats what they have soder for so I don't think this will be a world changing discovery.

In complete honesty, I'm very glad that china has decided to make the claim to stop trading Ivory tusks. Everything has a life, and every life matters. Killing elephants for their resources just proves to show that humans are destroying the earth, and soon we have to pay for it.

must of the ivory that is harvested is sent to china but chine has said that they will stoop harvesting ivory by the end of 2017 we can only hope they keep their promise.
If chine does keep their promise it will be harder for traffickers to sell ivory which will make poachers earn less money so hopefully they will stop killing elephants.
even though ending the largest ivory market will help keep elephants safe other places need to stop illegal ivory trading to really keep elephants safe.
