Glucose broth, glucose phosphate peptone water and Glycerol broth

Biology /

Introduction to Culture Media In microbiology, the growth of microorganisms (like bacteria, fungi, or viruses) often requires special solutions or mixtures called culture media. These media provide the nutrients and environment the microorganisms need to thrive. Each type of media is designed for different purposes, such as promoting growth, helping in the identification of microorganisms,

Mendel’s genetics: Selection of pea plant and Reasons for Mendel’s success

Biology /

Mendel’s genetics Mendel’s Genetics refers to the foundational principles of heredity that Gregor Mendel discovered through his experiments with pea plants in the 1860s. His work laid the groundwork for the field of genetics, explaining how traits are inherited from one generation to the next. Gregor Mendel, often referred to as the father of modern
