Is it possible to propogate a sugar maple from branches, or will I need to collect seeds? I'd really like to have a prop of a childhood tree I grew up with, if the tree is still alive
A place where propagate-able plants are given a second chance at lifeSo apparently there is homology between the bones in the hyoid of mammals and birds, but which bones are homologous to which? I drew this rough image with the basihyoids colored, which I think are the same in both birds and mammals, but could be wrong. Any help?
