- Why are there no lobsters in the Pacific? - Naked Scientists
But there are some spiny lobsters, including the California or red rock lobster, Panulirus interruptus, and there's also one called the green spiny lobster, and they do live on the Pacific, from California, down through into Peru and out into the Pacific as far as the Galapagos Islands There are various species that do live there
- Why are there no lobsters in the Pacific? | Naked Science Forum
In California one may surf as it's mostly unprotected shoreline with lots of surf and sandy beaches, Maine has quiet, tranquil waters surrounded by rocks and the lobster flee whenever that is about to change each winter In short, lobster just aren't adaptable enough to survive outside of their niche environment
- Does eating purple carrots turn you purple? - The Naked Scientists
Purple carrots on the other hand get their colour from anthocyanins, which are the same compound that makes red wine red And just like with red wine, you might find a purple carrot might stain your tongue, but this doesn’t necessarily mean that it also discolours your skin or that your urine turns red, like when you eat lots of beetroot

- Is DNA transferred in a transfusion? | Science Questions
Human red blood cells don't have a nucleus (unlike birds) and therefore do not contain any DNA So transfusions given recently will definitely not contain any of the donors DNA In the 60's, blood was not separated out like this, but we did realise that you could transfer viruses through transfusion like this, so the blood was irradiated
