“Many caves contain formations called stalactites and stalagmites. They are formed by deposits of calcium carbonate in limestone caves. They are both often shaped like cones. Yet, they aren’t quite the same. Stalactites are formed on the roofs of caves. As water drips downward from the roof, more calcium clings to the stalactites, and they slowly grow longer.

Smoking has many serious effects. The most obvious effect is the deterioration of a smoker's health. Smoking increases the risk of lung disease, increases blood pressure, increases the risk of heart attacks, and reduces the flow of oxygen to the brain. Smoking creates respiratory problems. A smoker's cough expels phlegm, a thick mucus in the nose and the throat that wants to escape the body. Prolonged use may lead to emphysema and the need to hook up to a machine to pump enough oxygen into the lungs.

My hometown and my college town have several things in common. First, both are small rural communities. For example, my hometown, Gridlock, has a population of only about 10,000 people. Similarly, my college town, Subnormal, consists of about 11,000 local residents. This population swells to 15,000 people when the college students are attending classes. A second way in which these two towns are similar is that they are both located in rural areas. Gridlock is surrounded by many acres of farmland which is devoted mainly to growing corn and soybeans. In the same way, Subnormal lies in the center of farmland which is used to raise hogs and cattle. Thirdly, these towns are similar in that they contain college campuses.

Scientists divide mitosis, the process where one copy of the DNA is distributed into the two daughter cells, into four parts. During the first phase, prophase, the chromosomes in the cell’s nucleus begins to condense and coil. They begin to look like a fishing line wrapping around a ball. In the next phase, metaphase, the chromosomes line up across the center of the cell. While lining up, the chromosomes attach themselves to a spindle fiber. In the third phase, anaphase, the chromosomes split. Furthermore, once the chromosomes have spilt the two halves move to opposite ends of the cell. As a result, the cell becomes stretched out as the opposite ends pull apart. Finally, the cell reaches the telophase stage.

Many houses today are constructed by builders who own and develop an area of homes. The builders often hire teams of workers who go from site to site specializing in certain tasks. To make this easier and to make the cost of materials less expensive, the houses are all built based on the same floor plan and the exteriors only have minor variations in styles and materials. Consequently, the interior details as well as the exteriors look very much the same from house to house. The overall result of this system is a lack of charm and individuality of homes in such housing additions.
