A Zap From an Electric Eel Could Give Nearby Organisms New Genes : ScienceAlert – Canada Boosts
Electrical eels can discharge a staggering 860 volts of power into their environment – over seven instances that of a typical US energy outlet. That is greater than sufficient voltage to punch holes in cell membranes, permitting giant polar molecules like DNA to sneak inside. “Electric eels and other organisms that generate electricity could affect…
