Genetic materials

  Genetic material is the material used in the storage of genetic information in the mitochondria or nuclei of a cell, either deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) or ribonucleic acid (RNA). DNA as genetic material. DNA is the hereditary material found in the cytoplasm of prokaryotic cells (bacteria) and in the nucleus of eukaryotic cells (plants and … Read more

Genetic engineering

  Genetic engineering has been categorized as an area of molecular biology that involves Changing the structure of genetic material which is also referred to as deoxyribonucleic acid or DNA. Recombinant DNA, also referred to as rDNA, is a strand of DNA which has been manipulated by scientists. Genetic engineering and rDNA move hand in … Read more

Gene Flow and Genetic Drift

  Natural selection, genetic drift, and gene flow may sound similar, but they are evolutionary processes, and they have several significant differences. Genetic Drift In the genetic drift, the frequency is changed within the population by the allele due to some sort of random sampling. As a result, the adaptations are not produced. Genetic drift … Read more

Gene Expression and Regulation – Lac Operon

  Cellular function is influenced by cellular environment. Adaptation to specific atmospheres is achieved by regulation the expression of genes that code the enzymes and proteins required for survival in an exceedingly specific environment. Factors that influence organic phenomenon embrace nutrients, temperature, light, toxins, metals, chemicals, and signals from alternative cells. Malfunctions within the regulation … Read more

Gemmules

  Gemmules are asexually produced masses of the cells which are capable to develop into the new organism or the new adult. An example of the gemmule is the freshwater sponge. They are small cells, having the bud-like appearance, formed by the sponges and can withstand the adverse environmental conditions. In the freshwater sponges, mainly … Read more

Fragmentation

  Fragmentation is a type of asexual reproduction, which is similar to the regeneration in some aspects but at the same time, it is different as well. In this type of asexual reproduction, the parent organism is divided into various pieces, and then each piece will be developed into a complete and new individual. Spirogyra … Read more

Flower structure and reproduction system

  Flower structure: Flower is the reproductive responsible part of the plant. It consists of four concentric rings of structure. The first one is sepals which are green and they protect the flower before it opens. This outer part is called calyx. The second part is petals which exist inside the sepals and they are … Read more

Filariasis

  Filariasis is also called lymphatic filariasis, it is a parasitic disease that is caused by an infection of roundworms of the filariodea type. Lymphatic filariasis commonly known as elephantiasis impairs the lymphatic system causing pain, social stigma and severe disability as it can lead to abnormal enlargement of body parts. Filariasis also leads to … Read more

Fertilization

  1. Fertilization Fertilization is the union of the female gamete (egg) and the male gamete (spermatozoa). Whether it occurs naturally inside the female reproductive system or with the assistance of reproductive technologies outside of the human body, the product is a structure called a zygote. When a woman is ovulating she releases one egg … Read more

Extinction

  Extinction is the extermination of an entity or a group of entity usually a species. The extinction is usually inspected to be the death of the last sole of the species. More than 99% of all the species that ever lived on the earth from the 5 billion species are estimated are died out. … Read more
