What type of plane is used to fly into hurricanes for scientific measurements?
The aircraft most commonly used is the Lockheed WC-130 Hercules flown by the US Air Force Reserve from Keesler AFB, Mississippi. The Navy used to fly hurricane missions in Lockheed P2V Neptune aircraft. Such an aircraft was lost in 1955 while flying through Hurricane Janet.
Is it possible to genetically engineer sky bison from avatar?
No. Our genetic engineering is nowhere near advanced enough to build custom creatures. Even if it were that advanced, it would still be physically impossible for a such a creature to fly.
What is water vapour used for?
water vapour is used to put in balloons.[even thouht the balloons can't fly]
How long does it take to fly to Antarctica from Christchurch New Zealand?
From 5-8 hours depending what type of aircraft is used.
What features of the genetic code make it possible for a mouse's gene to work inside the cells of a fly.?
The structure of the genetic code is now fairly well known. The code is a non-overlapping triplet code. Most, but not all, of the 64 triplets stand for one or another of the 20 amino acids and, in most cases, each amino acid is represented by more than one codon. Knowing this, we also know that almost all organisms in nature, from bacteria to humans, use exactly the same genetic code (with rare exceptions). Therefore, a gene from an organism (mouse) could theoretically be expressed by any other organism (fly), and all organisms have a common ancestor.
Can fly mean cool hip or groovy?
Yes!! Fly is a commonly used word in the English language when referring to something that is cool, awesome, hip groovy, etc.
What is the length of a fruit fly wing?
a fly is not an element so it does not have an "atomic" weight. It does have a mass or weight however
Do Rhinoserous Beetles walk and fly?

What is a baby fly's name?
Most commonly Phil, but the ladies are Jamie.
What are the most common species to be tested on with medical products?
Most animal testing is done on invertebrates as there are no regulations on this type of experimentation. The two most common invertebrates used are Drosophilia melanogaster (fruit fly) and Caenorhabditis elegans (nematode worm). Mice are the most commonly used vertebrates for animal testing because of their small size, inexpensiveness, and fast reproduction rate. They also share 99% of their genetic material with humans, making results obtained about genetic disorders extremely relevant to humans. Other animals used include guinea pigs, hamsters, cats, dogs, and various species of monkeys.
What is an insect with a bad reputation?
