Biology

Biology is the branch of science that primarily deals with the structure, function, growth, evolution, and distribution of organisms. It’s a methodological study of life and living things.

Biology is the scientific study of life. It spans multiple levels, from biomolecules and cells to organisms and populations12. All living things share common biological phenomena, such as reproduction, cell division, and the transmission of genetic material.

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, […]

Vibrio cholarae: Mode of transmission, pathogenesis, clinical disease, lab diagnosis, treatment and control

Biology /

What do you mean by Vibrio cholarae? Vibrio cholarae is a bacterium responsible for cholera, a severe diarrheal disease. Here’s an overview of its transmission, pathogenesis, clinical symptoms, diagnosis, treatment, and control, in a more humanized format. Transmission Vibrio cholarae is spread mainly through consuming water or food contaminated with the bacteria. This is more

Biology /

What is Loa loa? Loa loa is a parasitic worm transmitted by Chrysops flies, causing loiasis in humans by migrating under the skin and sometimes across the eyes. Habitat Loa loa, commonly known as the African eye worm, is a parasitic filarial worm endemic to parts of West and Central Africa. Its primary habitat includes

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

Difference between Rhizosphere and Phyllosphere

Biology /

The rhizosphere and phyllosphere are two vital plant environments, each hosting unique microbial communities that influence plant growth and health in distinct ways. While both serve as habitats for microorganisms, they differ significantly in location, function, and their interactions with the plant. Here’s a comparison between the rhizosphere and phyllosphere in table form, followed by

Three point test cross: gene order, map distance, inference and coefficient of coincidence and level of inference

Biology /

What is Three point test cross? A three point test cross is a method used in genetics to examine the arrangement of three linked genes on a chromosome and to measure the distances between them. It helps researchers understand how these genes are positioned relative to one another (gene order), calculate the distance between them

Hymenolepis nana: habitat, morphology, life cycle, pathogenesis, clinical symptoms, lab diagnosis and treatment

Biology /

Hymenolepis nana, commonly known as the dwarf tapeworm, is a small parasitic worm that often infects humans, especially children. This tapeworm is unique because it can complete its entire life cycle within one host, making it easy for the parasite to spread and persist in infected individuals. Habitat Hymenolepis nana primarily resides in the small
