Sree Chitra Tirunal Institute for Medical Sciences and Technology, Trivandrum, a Department of Science and Technology (DST) Institute of National Importance, has developed a low-cost diagnostic test kit that may confirm COVID19 in two hours. The confirmatory diagnostic test, which uses reverse transcriptase loop-mediated amplification of viral nucleic acid (RT-LAMP) to detect the N Gene […]

Taxonomy is the study of identifying, characterising and classifying all living species, including plants. The classification system is based on cognitive, genetic, and biochemical differences. Taxonomy procedures include characterisation, identification, and categorisation. Organisms are categorised into kingdoms, phyla, classes, orders, families, genera, and species. Carolus Linnaeus is often regarded as the “Father of Taxonomy.” He

A root system is indeed the component of the plant stem that descends (grows downward). The root is the very first tissue to emerge from the seed when the seeds germinate. It grows longer to create the main or taproot. It creates the root system by producing root systems (secondary or tertiary roots). Its roots

There is the importance of everything on earth, natural harm is connected with the positive result as well. Similarly, many people hate earthworms but they play an important role in vermiculture. In vermiculture, the Role of earthworm in vermicomposting is to decompose the waste material means when the worms are eating those wasted materials it

Transgenesis is the process of introducing an exogenous gene, also referred to as a transgene, from a living organism into the genome of another living organism. The aim is to obtain a transgenic organism that expresses the gene and exhibits some new properties or characteristics. The new properties will also be transmitted to the offspring

The concept of path analysis was proposed in 1921 by Sewall Wright. It was first used in 1959 by Dewey and Lu for plant selection. The same set of assumptions that are applied to linear regression is applied to path analysis as well, in addition to some restrictions that define relations among variables. In path

Gene is the biological basis of life, i.e. life exists the way we know because of it. It is a segment of DNA that occupies a specific location on a chromosome. In other words, they are fragments of DNA carrying invaluable genetic information. A gene combines proteins made up of four nucleotides, namely Adenine, Cytosine,

Introduction DNA, or deoxyribonucleic acid, is more than simply a collection of nucleotides that have been meticulously organised and coordinated to form the notorious ‘double helix.’ DNA and its structure, which are commonly researched at a molecular level, have proven crucial in understanding evolution. The significance of DNA cannot be emphasised, as it has several

Whether it is in prokaryotes or eukaryotes, the DNA replication takes place before the cells are divided, which helps ensure that the cells have an exact copy of their parent’s genetic material. DNA replication introduces many differences between the process it carries out in prokaryotes and eukaryotes, depending on the size of the molecules and

Living cells go through a fundamental “cell cycle” process that leads to the cell division of a mother cell in which cells develop, replicate their chromosomes, and then divide to generate new cells. It is a necessary biological activity in all living organisms to continue cell reproduction. Cell Division Cell division is the process through
