FLOODING IN NEW ZEALAND

 Auckland under water: New Zealand's main city faces its worst flooding ever

( BY NEREA GONZALO- ADM3 )

At least three dead and one missing from heavy rains and flooding in New Zealand. The city of Auckland, the largest in the country, is in a state of emergency. The airport is closed and the road network "seriously affected".

The Government has announced that it will allocate the equivalent of some US$65,000 in aid to communities. The priority now is to rescue people in danger and provide shelter for the victims.

Bad weather will continue for the next few days, so citizens are urged to follow the instructions of the emergency services.

IT IS A PITY WHEN WE FIND TRAGEDIES LIKE THIS ONE, MAYBE ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF CLIMATE CHANGE.

KING CHARLES III

 KING CHARLES III'S CORONATION FLOWERS: 

WHAT BLOOMS TO EXPECT AT THE CEREMONY

Plans for King Charles III's Coronation on Saturday 6th May 2023 are well underway, but what flowers are likely to feature in the ceremony? Keep reading for everything you need to know about King Charles' favourite flowers, Queen Elizabeth II's Coronation flowers, and what beautiful blooms we think might appear.

It's possible that common wildflowers could make an appearance. At Highgrove House, he included Meadow Gatefold, a wildflower meadow, in the grounds, as well as many rare wildflower species. Bluebells will also be in season at the time of the Coronation, so they could be considered for floral arrangements. It's no surprise that our new monarch loves to garden, so we imagine he may include some blooms from his own outdoor space.

Many royal experts predict that Lily-of-the-valley will feature at the King's Coronation. A symbol of purity, joy, love and sincerity, these pretty flowers were a favourite of Queen Elizabeth II and featured in her Coronation bouquet in 1953.

To mark the special occasion, we may also see the symbolic blooms of Britain. Many countries around the world have adopted a flower as part of their national emblem, and King Charles could include these at his Coronation.

INTERESTING FINDING

 Life without the Y chromosome

In most of today's mammals, what determines whether an individual will be male or female is the presence or absence of the Y chromosome. However, the latter is in the process of degeneration in the human genome, and could disappear in a few millions of years.

This degeneration is due to the fact that, unlike what happens with the rest of the chromosomes, the Y presents a single copy in the individuals that carry it. Thus, this chromosome does not undergo genetic recombination, thus, this chromosome does not undergo genetic recombination.

A team of biologists headed by Asato Kuroiwa, from the University of Hokkaido, has just revealed this by revealing how two species of rodents that had lost the Y chromosome survived this circumstance while maintaining sexual differentiation.Most of the genes on the Y chromosome would have been relocated to other chromosomes, with the exception of SRY, whose trace could not be found.
