        Characteristics Of Natural  Wood Wood is a I–41 fibrous tissue found in many plants. It has been used for centuries ice noth fuel and as a construction material. It is composed of 2 natural composite of cellulose fibers (which are strong in tensio .) embedded in a matrix of lignin. Lignin resists compression. W md is ...

Seed dispersal and fruit dispersal both of them refers to the carrying of these particular structures to places away from the plants producing them to other wider regions. Plants have adopted this dispersal mechanism because they are fixed to the ground therefore they had to develop a mechanism for distribution of their seeds and fruits. What Does Dispersion Mean? Basically, ...

Self Pollination Self pollination is defined as the transfer of mature pollen grains from the anther of flower to stigma of same flower or to that of another flower of the same plant. So, this whole process is termed as Self pollination or Autogamy (auto – self, Gamos – marriage). For example in Pea, Cotton or “Tomato. Self pollination takes place in ...

Pollination process in plants is defined as the transfer of pollen from the (male part) anther to the stigma (female part) of the same flower or of another flower on the same plant, or to an another flower on a different plant of the same species. When the anthers are fully mature they shed off the pollens either through slits ...

Chromosomal inversion is also called by different names (genetic inversion, chromosome inversion or inversion mutation). The Inversions are chromosomal mutations that conclude a segment of a chromosome that is turned around 180o and is reinserted into the chromosome. It does not involve a loss of genetic information but simply rearranges the linear gene sequence. An inversion involves two breaks along ...

Terms of Biology Ecology: Study of organisms in relation to environment is called ecology. Physiology: Study of functions of different parts of body is called physiology. Histology: Study of tissues with the help of microscope is called histology. Genetics: Study of hereditary characters and their inheritance is called genetics. Zoogeography: Study of geographical distribution of animals on earth is called ...

ADDITIONAL RELATED READINGS Taxonomy is the branch of biology which deals with the naming and classification of individuals. The arrangement of organisms into systematic groups is called as classification. More than 1.5 million species of animals and more than 0.5 million species of plants are known. All organisms are related to one another at some point in their evolutionary histories. ...

CLASSIFICATION OF VIRUSES Different types of plant, animal and bacterial viruses are classified on the basis of morphology, cover and nucleic acid properties. Genetic Material: The genetic material may be DNA or RNA Cover: The genetic material may be naked, enveloped or complex. Morphology: On the basis of morphology viruses are classified into rod shaped (T.M.V), spherical (poliovirus), tadpole like ...

The bacteriophage replicates only inside the bacterial cell. There are many steps in replication. Attachment (Adsorption) of Phage to the Host Cell: First of all the bacteriophage attaches to the bacterial cell at receptor site. The receptor sites are present on the cell wall of bacterium. During attachment, week chemical union occurs between virion and the receptor site. Penetration: In ...

DISEASES CAUSED BY VIRUSES Small Pox: Virus: It is caused by poxviruses. This virus is DNAenveloped. History: This disease occurred as epidemic in China in 12th century B.C. Until the early 20th century, it was common. Symptoms / Effects: This disease results in the formation of raisedfluid-filledvesicles on the body. These become pustules later on and form pitted scars, the ...
