Hi Meredith,\n\nExcellent topic. The keyword you are therefore looking for on the Internet is "eugenics", i.e.  the study of methods of improving genetic qualities by selective breeding. (Remember the name of one of the protagonists in the movie : Eugene - rings a bell? )\n\nThere are a lot of articles on that topic according to google. Try this one for example: http://theoccidentalquarterly.com/vol4no1/toq-editnote4-1.html \n\nGood luck !

You will find most of what you arel looking for regarding the first two question here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Food_production.  You will find your answer to question three here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disease and as for the last one you will find here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clothing\n\nGood Luck :-)!!!

I apologize but all that i can come up with is one.\n\nYou could raise fruit flies (Drosphila) and relate them to Gentics. i.e. punnet sqaures, Gregory Mendel, common characteristics, principle of dominance and recessiveness, etc.\n\nif you would like me to go further into detail about this project, please e-mail me at \n\nthe_lonley_kender@yahoo.com or send me an IM on Yahoo! at the_lonley_kender or on AIM at  thelonleykender

Here's at least a partial bibliography!\n\nhttp://scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=en&lr=&client=safari&q=G+Bolodia&btnG=Search\n\nYou'll probably find this one especially interesting:\n\nhttp://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=Retrieve&db=PubMed&list_uids=6754370&dopt=Citation\n\n"A tribute to professor Sir Hans A. Krebs, F.R.S. (1900-1981)."\n\nYou'll probably need to access them from a library or purchase the papers to read them.  Good Luck!

Go to www.ask.com and type in genetics. A bunch of links come up but the really cool thing is that on the right hand side of the page are a lot of similar topics so that you can narrow or broaden your search to find what you are looking for.

Here's a site devoted to KS coal plants:\nhttp://www.kansasenergy.org/coal_projects.htm

Searching your specific area will help, but you need to be more specific- are you talking about animal production and husbandry, farming (broadacre/ cereal crops, irrigation, horticulture, viticulture,etc, etc) and agricultural machanics and production or the human resources aspect. Perhaps Department of Primary Industries (DPI) and other government departments  often offer "fact sheets' that can give good overviews in a variety of areas.

Genetics of the fruit fly drosophila (Mendeline genetics)\n\nAn essay on Darwin and his discovery of Natural selection would be good and interesting reading.\n\nHow do finger prints work? Including the history of, and perhaps a discussion on the fact that identical twins do not have identical finger prints.\n\nOver farming/fishing, how humans are quickly using up the environment and resources of the planet.\n\nThe extinction of the Dinosausrs.\n\nThe phenomenon of the Peppered Moth and Industrial melanism.\n\nDepends what area you are interested in, you can pick something you find fun and do some research on it, don't think of it as hard, think of it as an opportunity to do something you enjoy and show your markers how much you enjoy it by researching it.

this site is considered the best for geneology. you might have to register at some point but i have not had to for my research and it is totally free.

Try www.ancestry.com \nThey have a free geneology search.

EEEEH. I'm not really good with this mumbojumbo stuff but here is a site on genotypes and stuff. -> http://janis7hepc.com/Genotypes.htm <-

The maize grain is a fruit in botany and that is for certain.\n\nNow let us see how it confirms to the definition of caryopsis. It is a clear botanical term used in the fruit morphology.\n\n1) Caryopsis is a simple , dry , indehiscent fruit that develops from a superior ovary of a monocarpellary gynoecium\n  Maize shows all these features as it IS a dry fruit and does not break open automatically on its own so INDEHISCENT fruit. It has a simple flower with a single carpel so MONOCARPELLARY gynoecium.\n\n2) In addition to the above mentioned features. In Maize the TESTA ( seed coat or the wall of the seed ) is inseparably fused with the PERICARP ( wall of the fruit ).\n   It is called HULL.This is the qualifying character of \n    CARYOPSIS. This hull shows a tiny scar at the top indicating that the grain is in fact a fruit and not seed.\n \n I hope this will clear your doubt.\n\n All plants that are commonly called 'cereals' belong to Grass family or Poaceae family ( old name Gramineae family)\n  and they show caryopsis fruit. All of them have endospermic seed and many are invaluable for man.
