Stages of Plant Growth and DevelopmentIn plant anatomy and physiology, plant growth and development is the process by which the plants develop new tissues and new structures from the meristems which are located at the tips of the plants’ organs or between the fully developed tissues of the plants. The growth process occurs throughout the whole life of the plants (Hunt, 2012). Plant growth and development involves various stages which the...
HistoryThe stem cells that have characteristic features of differentiation into stem cells that can divide further through mitosis and produce more stem cells. They are found in multi-cellular living things. In warm blooded cells, there are two wide sorts of stem cells: embryonic youthful cells, which are isolated from the internal cell mass of blastocysts, and adult stem cells, which are found in various tissues (Izadpanah et al. 2015). Stem ...
Koch’s PostulateFor many years, epidemics of contagious infections were believed to be as a result of the wrath of ancient gods, or miasma. German physician Robert Koch (1843-1910) helped in establishing a method useful in identifying a disease-causing agent. Koch's postulate refers to the four criteria formulated in 1880's to help in the determination of a causal relationship between a disease and its causative microbe (Inglis 200...

MethodsThe general aim of the experiment was to study myogenesis of C2C12 cells and investigate the appearance of Myosin Heavy Chain and proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) during differentiation and proliferation. This aim was achieved through several lab sections with different objectives. The first lab section’s aim was to learn how to seed, culture and even differentiate and determine viability of C2C12 cells. Through the secon...
1a. Clostridium tetani, a bacterium that can infect wounds exposed to soil or dirt is an endospore-forming, rod-shaped bacterium that can cause tetanus1a. Clostridium tetani, a bacterium that can infect wounds exposed to soil or dirt is an endospore-forming, rod shaped bacterium that can cause tetanus. In Mary's case she had got an open wound when working in her garden and this could have exposed her wound to the soil and also to the bacterium...

Cells, tissues, organs and systemsCells are the smallest unit of life, which is independent, composed of a cell membrane, genetic material, cell organelles and cell wall (in plants only). It is the key structural and functional unit of human body that makes up the complex human body structure. Cells are of two types, i.e. prokaryotes and eukaryotes. The prokaryotic cells are primitive cells, like bacteria, consisting cell membrane, genetic mat...
History or BackgroundHuman female germ cells has two X chromosomes and human male has one x and one Y chromosome. If the fertilization occurs via X-bearing sperm results in female offspring and fertilization by Y-bearing or X-deficient sperm results in make offspring. This ability of male gamete to determine the sex of the offspring and the presence of unique Y chromosomes in male gamete lead to the foundation of the paternal testing (Bachtr...

Answer: Introduction The plant that has been used in this study is pea (Pisumsativum). This crop has been studied since the age of Gregor Mendel (Bateson, William and Gregor). The plant has green pods and those pods contain dry seeds inside. These seeds are in high demand as they are cooked both as a pulse as well as vegetables. This crop has a very high nutritious value and contains proteins, vitamins A and K, carbohydrates, phosphorus and c...
DiscussionCharles Darwin, in his theory of evolution, put forward a theory on mechanism justifying descent with modification. As per this theory, in case a certain population of organisms exhibits inheritance, variation and differential reproductive success, chances are full that the composition of this population changes significantly from one generation to another (Laland et al., 2014). Guppies (Poecilia reticulata) are aquarium fish that ar...
Types of cancerCancer is one of the most prevailing disorders that is becoming a threat to the human race worldwide. It is becoming more threatening to the human population, as there are several routes of cancer causing and the progress of the disease is very fast and tough to prevent. The key fact regarding cancer development is the abnormal cell growth, which the body immune system unable to control (Heim and Mitelman 2015). Thus, cancer i...
Normal flora of human bodyMicroorganisms are found everywhere such as in the air, water, soil, plants and animals. Without microbes the life on the earth will become unbalanced, because the microbes play an important role in supporting the cycles of the earth. All of the human beings contains microorganism in their body, which are known as the normal flora of the body. The internal tissues, e.g. blood, brain, muscle, etc in a healthy human bei...
Heart Rate ControlThe heart rate is usually regulated and/or controlled by impulses which are produced by both the sympathetic and the parasympathetic nerves within the Sino-atrial node. The parasympathetic nerve system mainly functions as a calming system and thus functions when the heart is at rest (Zhang, 2009). The vagus nerve as part of this system makes the heart to beat slower when need be. The sympathetic system on the other hand accor...
MethodsCortisol is an important steroid hormone released by the adrenal gland and just like numerous biological process in human body, it has a circadian rhythm. The reaction of an adrenal gland to exogenous adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) may be important from an investigative viewpoint. Generally, an artificial ACTH analogue cosyntropin, comprises of a 24 N-terminal amino acids of an instinctive peptide, it is used for research purposes (...
Herbicide ResistanceMoss (2002) defines herbicide resistance as the heritable ability of weeds to survive and reproduce in the presence of herbicide doses that are lethal to the wild type of the species. Herbicide resistance was first observed by an ornamental nursery owner in 1968 (Jasieniuk et al. 1996). The first resistance to herbicide was recorded in Senecio vulgaris; seeds from the resistant biotypes were found to be insensitive to the c...
In case a gene name or a gene ID or an accession number for a sequence of interest is not available, the database of Ensembl is involved in providing an interface that allows the users to use the BLAST or the BLAT option to align the given sequence of interest to the genome. Before starting this, it has to be made sure that the species of interest is chose. In this case it will be Homo sapiens. On running the sequence, the default program whic...

HACCP Plan For the purpose a execution of a food processing, manufacturing and production process with safety and high quality standards as key requisites, the development of a Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point Plan (HACCP) is of utmost importance, as established by the U. S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the National Advisory Committee on Microbiological Criteria for Foods (NACMCF). The food production principles of HACCP, incorpo...
MethodologyHerbicide resistance is the heritable ability of weeds to survive and reproduce in the presence of herbicide doses that are lethal to the wild type of the species. Herbicide resistance was first discovered in Senecio vulgaris in 1968, and ever since the phenomenon of herbicide resistance has become one of the most crucial challenges to agriculture, due to 187 weed species developing resistance to one or more herbicide chemicals (P...
Gas Exchange System in Humans1. Gas exchange system in humans is related with respiratory system also. It can be stated that Gas exchange is associated with the delivery of the oxygen from the lungs into the bloodstream and then it reduces the carbon dioxide from the blood stream into the lungs. It takes place in the lungs and also it is connected with the tiny blood vessels and alveoli. The small blood vessels are also known as capillaries wh...
