In many organisms sex is determined genetically. Often this is accompanied by chromosomal differences between the sexes. Chromosomes, structures made of proteins and coiled DNA, contain all the genetic information of an organism.
What Are Sweetbreads? ccording to the Larousse Gastronomique, sweetbread is the culinary term for the thymus gland (in the throat) and the pancreas (near the stomach) in calves, lambs and pigs. Larousse further states that thymus sweetbreads are elongated and irregular in shape while pancreas sweetbreads are larger and rounded. But sweetbreads are neither sweet, nor are they bread. The word sweetbread was first used in the 16th century, but the reason behind the name is unknown.
A flatbread is a bread made with flour, water and salt, and then thoroughly rolled into flattened dough. Many flatbreads are unleavened yeastâalthough some are slightly leavened, such as pita bread. There are many other optional ingredients that flatbreads may contain, such as curry powder, diced jalapeÃ±os, chili powder, or black pepper. Olive oil or sesame oil may be added as well.
