In flowering plants one sperm nucleus fertilizes the egg and the other sperm nucleus fuses with two other nuclei found within the ovule, thus forming triploid endosperm.
Hence, double fertilization is unique to flowering plants.
Heritable variation is one of the four most important factors that affect whether natural selection can occur. These factors include
1) Heritable variation
2) Descent with modification
3) Struggle for survival, and necessarily if the others are satisfied
4) Survival of the fittest.
Heritable variation allows for possibly beneficial, negative, or even neutral mutations to get filtered during each generation by natural selection--weeding out negative mutations, passing on positive and neutral ones. Without heritable variation, species would quickly fall victim to parasites who take advantage of identical genetic material in a population and evolution would not occur.
Variation is the raw material of evolution.
Axons make up a majority of the matter in a nerve is the one statement regarding nerves is incorrect.
ddNTPs - Dideoxynucleotides and abbreviated as ddNTPs.
They are chain-elongating inhibitors of DNA polymerase, used in the Sanger method for DNA sequencing.
They have a hydrogen at the 3? carbon of the ribose sugar.
Vitamin K helps in clotting of blood. It is used by the body to help blood clot.
Warfarin (Coumadin) is used to slow blood clotting. By helping the blood clot, vitamin K might decrease the effectiveness of warfarin (Coumadin).
If you were to produce a protein in bacterial cloning systems, you would not get the same post transcriptional and post translational modifications because the prokaryotic and eukaryotic systems work differently on the modifications.
Thus human recombinant protein genes are usually cloned in yeast cells. Also since they have a short generation time, they can be easily culture.
Right ventricle (which pumps blood to the lungs), pulmonary artery (which carries blood to the lungs), and left atrium (which receives blood from the lungs) are involved directly in pulmonary circulation.
A cytoskeleton acts as a frame that gives a cell its shape, protects it to an extent, and helps with cellular motion.
There are two kingdoms of bacteria. They are
1. Eubacteria and
2. Archaea
The members of these two kingdoms appear similar in shape and appearance, even under the extreme magnification of the electron microscope . However, they are very different from each other in a number of molecular and biochemical aspects. It is these differences that have resulted in the microorganisms being grouped into separate kingdoms.
For example, eubacteria contain the rigid, stress-bearing network known as the peptidoglycan . The only exceptions are the bacteria from the genera Mycoplasma and Chlamydia. Archaebacteria do not contain peptidoglycan. Instead, they contain a different structure that is called pseudomurein.
The common bacteria belongs to Eubacteria kingdom.
DNA is a very long chain polymer made up of thousands of repeating units called nucleotides.
Nucleotide Unit is composed of a phosphate group, a pentose sugar, and a nitrogenous base.
The sides of the DNA ladder are made up of alternating deoxyribose sugar -- phosphate group units.
