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.

Seed banks and Botanical gardens: ex-situ conservation

Biology /

The Earth’s biosphere is a tapestry of life, woven with an intricate web of interconnected species. This biodiversity, the very fabric of our planet’s ecosystems, is under immense pressure. Habitat loss, climate change, pollution, and invasive species are relentlessly eroding the richness and diversity of life. In this context, ex-situ conservation – the preservation of species outside […]

Hippurate hydrolysis test: Principle, Procedure, Result interpretations and Limitations

Biology /

Hippurate hydrolysis test is a biochemical experiment used to distinguish between specific bacteria species, particularly those from the Streptococcus and Campylobacter genera. This test is mostly used to identify Group B Streptococcus (Streptococcus agalactiae) and Campylobacter jejuni. Hippurate Hydrolysis Test The hippurate hydrolysis test is a biochemical experiment that distinguishes and identifies certain bacterial species

Preparation of Polytene Chromosomes of Drosophila for In-Situ Hybridization

Biology /

Polytene Chromosomes Large chromosomes called polytenes are seen in the salivary glands of insects. They were found by Balbiani in 1881. Polytene Chromosomes were found in the salivary glands, they are often referred to as salivary gland chromosomes. They are referred to as polytene because of their large number of chromonemata. Drosophila melanogaster larvae’s salivary

Phases of Cell cycle

Phases of Cell cycle

Biology /

All living things go through a basic process called the cell cycle, which is in charge of tissue growth, development, and repair. The precise duplication of the cell’s genetic material (DNA) and the subsequent division of the cell into two daughter cells are guaranteed by a strictly controlled series of processes. The two primary stages

Bile solubility test Principle, Procedure, and Result

Bile solubility test: Principle, Procedure, and Result

Biology /

Bile solubility test is used to differentiate Streptococcus pneumoniae from other alpha-hemolytic streptococci based on the ability of S. pneumoniae to lyse in the presence of bile salts. Bile solubility test Bile solubility test is based on the unique ability of Streptococcus pneumoniae to lyse in the presence of bile salts (typically sodium deoxycholate). This

Immunofluorescent staining of Drosophila Larval Neuroblasts

Immunofluorescent staining of Drosophila Larval Neuroblasts

Biology /

Immunofluorescent Using immunofluorescent, one of the most potent microscopy techniques, one can see certain molecules or structures inside cells and tissues. By using antibodies, which function as tiny, focused spotlights with extraordinary specificity, it can give the target molecule a luminous glow. Drosophila melanogaster, the common fruit fly, has proven to be a remarkably powerful

Phytoremediation: Classification, Mechanisms, Applications and limitations

Biology /

Phytoremediation represents a viable and environmentally acceptable approach for environmental cleanup. Phytoremediation promotes long-term environmental management and restoration by utilizing plants’ inherent ability to absorb, convert, and detoxify contaminants. Understanding its classification, mechanisms, applications, and limitations is critical for successfully implementing phytoremediation procedures and addressing environmental concerns. Phytoremediation Phytoremediation is an environmentally benign and cost-effective
