Thymine and Uracil are the two nucleotide bases which are found in the DNA and RNA respectively. The main difference between thymine and uracil is due to the property of “Occurrence”. The occurrence of both thymine and uracil is the property that distinguishes these two, as thymine is a pyrimidine nitrogenous base found in deoxyribonucleic …
The difference between liver and kidney is due to the following properties: First is the part of body function, to which they relate. Second is the location of both the organs. And, third is the number of these organs in a human body. The liver is the organ, which is the part of our digestive …
HIV stands for Human Immuno Deficiency Virus. It belongs to the group of Retrovirus, which consist of positive single-stranded RNA. HIV was first isolated from the patient’s lymph node by Montagnier and Barre Sinoussi who won Nobel prize in the year 2008. The symmetry of HIV is icosahedral. Human Immuno Deficiency virus is enveloped and diploid. …
AIDs stands for Acquired Immuno Deficiency Syndrome. The causative agent of Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome is HIV that stands for Human Immuno Deficiency Virus. AIDs is a severe and life-threatening disease that has no cure but could be controlled by proper vaccination and medication. ART (Anti-Retroviral Therapy) is the only control measure that uses a combination …
Refining of metal is one of the processes which involves the separation of impurities like sand particles, other metals etc. from the metal of choice. Therefore, refining of metal comes under the science of studying the metal’s physical and chemical properties, called Metallurgy. The methods for refining metals vary according to the type and use …
Animal cell culture is one of the important tools now in the field of life science. It is the in-vitro technique, in which the cells are grown in the laboratory conditions under proper nutrient source, growth factors and the controlled environmental conditions for the cell growth and division. The cells in the animal cell culture …
Meristem culture particularly involves the cultivation of the shoot apical meristem. This technique is also called a shoot tip or apical meristem culture. It was reported in the year 1952 by the scientist’s named Morel and Martin. Orchid cymbidium was micropropagated using this culture by Morel in 1965. The meristem culture is very much similar …
Ovary culture is the in-vitro technique carried outside, i.e. on a suitable nutrient medium to grow new haploid plants by taking an unpollinated flower. The ovary culture process is called gynogenesis because an ovary is a female reproductive part called gynoecium. Gynogenesis was first studied by a scientist named San Noem in the year 1976. For …
Pentose phosphate pathway also called HMP pathway that stands for Hexose Mono- Phosphate Pathway. It is very different from the other pathways, where it neither releases ATP nor consumes ATP during the process. It is a metabolic pathway that occurs in all types of cells and tissues. In the liver, 30% of glucose is metabolized …
The qualitative analysis of carbohydrate is the significant test for detecting and classifying carbohydrates, depending on the colour change followed by chemical reactions. Carbohydrate is an organic biomolecule that has a chemical formula Cm (H2O) n. The carbohydrate consists of three atoms, viz. carbon, hydrogen and oxygen as the main constituent, where the ratio between …
