That "specific isolated gene" may have other functions than that which is known. What the scientists think they know and what they REALLY know could well be two different things. I only advocated testing and observing to be SURE that these things are OK. After all, if they take DNA from a goat, that is identifiable as being from a goat, and then splice it into a tomato, it _may_ make a better tomato.

Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
