Many years before chromosomes were visualized under a microscope, Gregor Mendel, known as father of modern genetics, started studying heredity in 1843. Accompanied by the advancement of microscopic techniques in course of the late 1800s, cell biologists could blotch and conjure up subcellular structures with dyes and perceive their actions in course of cell … Read more
The central dogma is the two-step process involving transcription and translation, by which gene information flows into proteins: DNA → RNA → protein. Proteins are encoded by individual genes used to orchestrate possibly every cell function. The central dogma shades light on the flow of genetic information in cells from DNA to proteins (mRNA). … Read more
In the discipline of biology budding is a type of asexual reproduction, in which new individuals are developed from the generative anatomical point of the parent organism. In some of the cases the buds can be produced from any point on the body but in some cases, the characteristic of budding is only possible … Read more
The birth rate is also known as natality. The birth rate is used to measure the new individuals, at per unit population, and per unit time. Birth rate along with the mortality is sued for the calculation of population dynamics. The birth rate is a key factor for the calculation of popular numbers and … Read more

Evolution happens on both small scale, and large scale. Broadly speaking, the change in the genetic makeup is known as evolution and it happens over a certain period. Based on the scale, two types of evolution are defined by the biologists. Microevolution: It refers to the changes at the small scale, which affects only … Read more
Many definitions have been given to biofortification from different point of view, it has been defined as the increase of micronutrients in the edible parts of the plants, and it is achieved by either mineral fertilization or plant breeding. Biofortification by mineral fertilization has been seen as a common practice in some countries that … Read more
It is a type of reproduction in which new offspring arise from the single organism. In this reproduction, the genes of a single parent are inherited to the new daughter organism. In this reproduction, the fusion of gametes is not involved and almost their number of chromosomes is never changed. It is the primary … Read more
Ascariasis is the infection of the intestine and occurs when a type of round worm known as ascarislumbricoides affect the small intestine. It is common in developing countries that lack modern sanitation. Ascarislumbricoidis a type of parasite known as a soil-transmitted helminth and it infects a person’s small intestine and acts as a parasite … Read more
