So in a recent walk around the side of my house I noticed robins eggs in a nest within a butterfly bush. Three eggs lay there just when my mom was thinking about cutting it down. So I've been recording and taking pictures of them each day since i've seen hem and today is day three. So far I have seen the nest the three eggs and twice I've seen the mother laying on her eggs. I'm not exactly sure how long the eggs have been there but it sparked a few questions related to the birds and biotech that I hope to get answers to or I'f not just share my own opinions on them.
1.) why are their eggs blue- so far I've been reading that it is to help hide the eggs and comes from a pigment in the mothers blood... Leading to my next question
2.) could the birds be genetically modified to produce different color eggs and how would that effect the amount of predators that come across the egg
Could the pigment in the blood that is causing the color of the egg be injected into another organism to create a bluish color and if so would that cor stay with the organism or would it just be there like on the eggs until the birth of the organism
3.) what qualities if any from a robin could be beneficial in DNA recombination genetically modifying organisms or gene therapy even? What qualities do they lack that could enhance or better their lives?
Soon i'll be posting my videos and photos of the eggs on the sidebar
