CELL DIVISION PROCESS Reproduction is one of the most important things that a cell has to undergo for most of its lifespan. It is a complex process that is undertaken in multiple steps, one at a time. There is a sequence attached to these steps which are carried out in a manner such that all information (DNA and genetic) along ...

CELL INTRODUCTION Technically, an organism is produced from a single cell. When implanted in the mother’s womb, the cell extracts the necessary nutrients and divides to form new cells which collectively lead to the creation of a body self sustaining in nature. If the hierarchy of the organisms is studied, one may find those composed of a single cell to ...

There are distinctive techniques to recognize linkages among genes. Some of these are: Detection of linkage by PD/NPD proportion The Parental era (PD) to non-parental era proportion gives sign about linkage between two genes. Test cross or back cross is performed keeping in mind the end goal to get PD/NPD proportion. In the event that there is proportion of 1 ...

CELLULAR BIOLOGY – KEEPING THE INTERESTS OF EVERYONE ALIVE Of all the branches of medical science, cellular biology has a special place. This is because even though significant discoveries have been made with it, there is still a lot to be explored and understood. While in some areas, there are results but no explanation, some areas witness theories without any ...

Cellular biology is a stream derived from the combination of biology with technology. It involves a fairly complex study and is mostly seen as one meant for the academics who can devote time for stringent research and development. The study involves understanding the physical and chemical properties of the cells present in the human as well as the animals that ...

HELA CELLS Cellular Biology has been given a big boost with Hela Cells. Its origin can be traced to the 1950s when it was extracted from a lady named Henrietta Lacks in Africa. This cell has been able to provide a major breakthrough in the lives of millions worldwide. Polio, a disease which had to be eradicated from the face ...

CELL DIVISION AND AGING Every plant and animal is composed of living cells. These cells are of different types and are meant to perform different functions in the body. Collectively, a group of cells form a tissue, a group of tissues form an organ and a group of organs form a body. Hence, cells are one of the smallest entities ...

Oscillatoria Taxonomic Position Kingdom: Bacteria Division: Cyanobacteria Class: Cyanophyceae Order: Oscillatoriales Family: Oscillatoreaceae Genus: Oscillatoria Occurrence It occurs in wide variety of habitat. It is common in fresh water, damp place, ditches, drains etc. it is also found as patches on the mud surface. It is most common in moist places where abundant organic matter is present. Patches of entangled ...

Anabaena Taxonomic Position Kingdom: Bacteria Phylum:    Cyanobacteria Class:       Cyanophyceae Order:      Nostocales Family:     Nostocaceae Genus:     Anabaena Occurrence Anabaena (Gr. Anabaniein=to arise) is a filamentous blue green alga. The genus contains both planktonic species and some that form coatings on other aquatic vegetation. A few species are endophytic and grow in cavities between the leaves of the water fern Azolla ...

Nostoc Taxonomic Position Kingdom: Bacteria Phylum:   Cyanobacteria Class:        Cyanophyceae Order:      Nostocaies Family:     Nostocaceae Genus:     Nostoc Occurrence Nostoc is common in fresh ponds. The large colonies found free floating as small circular balls. It may be attached to the submerged plants. Nostoc can be found in soils on moist rocks, at the bottom of lakes and springs (both fresh- and saltwater), ...
