A study was made on the effect of CCC (2-chloroethyl)-trimethyl-ammonium
chloride), a plant growth retardant, on the RNA (ribonucleic
acid) content of wheat plants, It was found that the RNA content of

capable of capturing prey in total darkness. Anatomically, both the
harrier and owls have evolved a sound collecting facial ruff (a...
