Sir plz clarify the the topic pregnancy test in history.
In old times, there was a particular pregnancy test in which a woman who might be pregnant could urinate on wheat and barley seeds over the course of several days: “If the barley grows, it means a male child. If the wheat grows, it means a female child. If both do not grow, she will not bear at all.

What is the Multiple Sclerosis. I couldn’t grasp this. Kindly explain this disease.
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a potentially disabling disease of the brain and spinal cord (central nervous system).
In MS, the immune system attacks the protective sheath (myelin) that covers nerve fibers and causes communication problems between your brain and the rest of your body. Eventually, the disease can cause permanent damage or deterioration of the nerves.
Signs and symptoms of MS vary widely and depend on the amount of nerve damage and which nerves are affected. Some people with severe MS may lose the ability to walk independently or at all, while others may experience long periods of remission without any new symptoms.
There’s no cure for multiple sclerosis. However, treatments can help speed recovery from attacks, modify the course of the disease and manage symptoms.

While scaffolding in general means a structure providing support. The best example of scaffolding in biology is the repair of a broken bone (fracture). An initial temporary structure is made by the body called the pro callus. On this further growth takes place. And it undergoes intensive remodelling.
