Mutations in these genes result in abnormal or failed development of polarization in the Drosophila embryo. Nusslein-Volhard's experiments in 1979 identified and characterized all mutant alleles that affected the dorsal-ventral axis. Genes affecting dorsal-ventral polarization fall into two categories:
Biological warfare (BW)âalso known as germ warfare âis the use of biological toxins or infectious agents such as bacteria, viruses, and fungi with the intent to kill or incapacitate humans, animals or plants as an act of war.
Counterinsurgency is not just thinking manâs warfareâit is the graduate level of war. âProtracted conflicts favor insurgents, and no approach makes better use of that asymmetry than the protracted popular war. The Chinese Communists used this approach to conquer China after World War II.
