Surprisingly, not all of the useful DNA in your chromosomes comes from your evolutionary ancestors; some was borrowed from somewhere else. At least eight retrovirus genes have been found in your DNA. This is a virus that takes over a cell by exploiting the cell's DNA coding mechanisms. These genes were eventually incorporated into human DNA at some point in history. These viral genes in DNA now play critical roles in human reproduction, despite the fact that they are completely foreign to our genetic ancestors.

More than 40% of new cars sold in the UK now are diesel, up from 13% or so a little more than ten years ago. In the UK, there are currently 12 million diesel vehicles on the road. Government incentives based on the lower carbon emissions and higher fuel economy of diesel compared to gasoline are mostly to blame for this. Diesel vehicles produce significantly more dangerous NOx than their petrol-powered counterparts.

The raw material is pulverized into a slurry after being combined with a specified amount of water. The proteins and components are extracted at a specific temperature over a set amount of time. The starch is then transformed to sugar by an enzymatic process. The plant milk is then separated from the harvested plant fibres using industrial centrifuges in the following stage. The plant milk is then homogenised with edible oil and blended with other components, heated, and lastly bottled, depending on the recipe.

Spiders, unlike humans, have blue blood. However, there is a scientific explanation for this. In humans, oxygen is bound to an iron-containing molecule, which gives our blood its red colour. However, in spiders, the molecule to which oxygen is bound contains copper, giving their blood a blue colour.

Dreams are experienced by people who are born blind, but not through the eyes. Instead, they have dreams that rely on other senses, but they are just as intense as those that rely on sight. Those who go blind later in life, on the other hand, will have visual images in their dreams.
