FOXP2 was thought to be the genetic basis for language, but this has been overturned[1]. As far as I know there isn't a good candidate for a gene selected for language.
Nuclear had much lower capacity factors in the past, which brings the lifetime capacity factor down. But the relevant point is that the capacity factor of nuclear plants running today is >90%
I hope you get to be a mum. You sound like someone thoughtful and imaginative, which are great qualities for being a parent. Infinite patience would also help - I'm still trying to develop that myself!
If it exists just to advertise toys (beyblade) or is so saccharine it makes you sick (Daniel tiger) then it's crap.
There's good stuff out there though - bluey, octonauts, peg + cat, carmen sandiego.
The DNA in mitochondria has a slightly different genetic code compared to DNA in the nucleus, which is evidence that mitochondria were once free living organisms, and they separated from other organisms before the genetic code was fully established. A fascinating glimpse of a lost world.
That's no longer true. The US used to use "first to invent" to determine patent rights, but it was changed to "first to file" in 2013. It's no longer necessary to prove when you first invented something, it's now just a matter of checking filing dates.
