DNA analysis, which has proven to be a major advance in the field of paternity testing, involves the direct examination of the genetic material that a child inherited from its biological parents. DNA is located throughout the human body and in the same identical form.
In a plant with a taproot system, the taproot is the largest, most central, and most dominant root from which other roots sprout laterally. Typically a taproot is somewhat straight and very thick, is tapering in shape, and grows directly downward.
Bloodroot is a beautiful plant and it can flourish in a shady, woodland garden. Rather than furthering the decline of this species in the wild by illegally removing it from the park, it is better to plant seeds or rhizomes (underground stems) purchased from commercially-available nursery-propagated plants.
