The group of cells performing some collective function is called tissue. Tissues organize the body of plant for performing different function. Many types of tissues associate with each other to form tissue system. Vascular system is an example of tissue system. The tissues have following characteristics: Tissues are composed of many cells. These cells may be of one type or ...

Sex Limited Trait

The traits limited to only one sex due to anatomical differences are called a sex limited treat. Such trait affects a structure or function of the body of males or females only. These traits are controlled by sex-linked or autosomal genes. For example: (i).       Genes for milk production in dairy cattle affect only cows. (ii).      Beard growth in humans is ...

Sex Determination

XY – MECHANISM This pattern of sex determim tion is round in Drosophila, man and many other organisms. (a) Male: Male is XY. Mite is heterogametic. It produces two types of sex-determining sperms. Half the sperms carry X-chromosome and the other half carry Y — chromosome. Chances for both types of sperms are equal. ) Female: Female is XX. Female ...

Mitochondria

The Powerhouse Of The Cell Mitochondria is commonly called as power house of the cell. They provide energy transuding system. This system is used to change the food into chemical energy by oxidative phosphorylation. ATP is synthesized during oxidative phosphorylation. Discovery: Mitochondria was first described by Altmann in 1894. He named them as bioblast. He predicted that bioblast had some ...
