Binomial nomenclature is a binomial naming system for organisms or species. A binomial name means that it has two parts. These two parts are the generic name (genus name) and the specific name, also known as a specific epithet. These names form part of the botanical nomenclature. In short, it is a type of two-term […]

The assigning of distinct names to each species is known as nomenclature.In different places around the world, plants and animals are known by specific names. In addition, people from different states/regions in the same country may use different names to refer to the same species.  For instance, Ipomoea batatas (sweet potato) is known in Hindi

Helicotylenchus (Tylenchida: Hoplolaimidae) are coiled worms known as spiral nematodes. They’re worldwide and related with plant roots. Most are ectoparasites and feed on root epidermis, whereas some reside half-buried in root tissues. Many species’ damage potential is unknown, however some are global and affect plant growth and yield. Thorsteinson believed that insect host selection is

The word pome first appeared in English in the late 14th century and was used to refer to an apple or an object in the shape of an apple. In turn, it derives from the Old French word for “apple”. Pome is an accessory fruit that consists of one or more carpels that are surrounded

Plastic is a polymeric substance that can be moulded or formed, typically by the use of heat and pressure. Plasticity, when combined with other specific features such as low density, low electrical conductivity, transparency, and toughness, enables plastics to be produced in a wide range of items. These include polyethylene terephthalate (PET) drinking bottles that

Chemical reactions occur when a chemical link is broken or rearranged. A chemical reaction is dependent on the sort of chemical connection that is broken. The term “bond fission” refers to the dissolution of a chemical link (typically a covalent bond). Homolytic and heterolytic fission are two main types of bond fission. Homolytic fission Homolytic

Hesperidium is the scientific name for citrus fruits. The existence of an external rind or peel distinguishes citrus fruits from other fruits. When it comes to citrus fruits, their rind or peel is split into 2 parts: the exocarp or flavedo, which seems to be the outer, coloured portion, as well as the mesocarp or

An indehiscent fruit in which an outer fleshy part (the exocarp, or skin, and the mesocarp, or flesh) surrounds a single hardened endocarp shell (the pit, stone, or pyrena) that contains a seed is referred to as a “drupe” (kernel). These fruits are usually made up of a single carpel and are primarily produced by

The term “drupe” refers to an indehiscent fruit in which an outer fleshy part (the exocarp, or skin, and the mesocarp, or flesh) surrounds a single shell (the pit, stone, or pyrena) of hardened endocarp that contains a seed (kernel). These fruits are typically formed from a single carpel, and they are produced primarily from

Because of the seeming simplicity of DNA’s chemistry, biologists in the 1940s had difficulties embracing it as the genetic material. DNA was once thought to be a lengthy polymer made up of only four chemically similar components. DNA was originally studied using x-ray diffraction analysis, a technique for determining a molecule’s three-dimensional atomic structure, in
