Fate of Pyruvate – Acetyl CoA, Lactate, Alcohol Formation

Fate of Pyruvate: Acetyl CoA, Lactate, Alcohol Formation.

The Fate of Pyruvate can be defined as the different metabolic direction’s that pyruvate (end product of Glycolysis Pathway) is taken in cells depending on O₂ level’s,enzyme’s etc. It is important to note that pyruvate’s position is kind of central,it links the Glycolysis with the Krebs Cycle, And also with fermentation route’s. In aerobic condition’s … Read more

Trochophore Larva – Features, Structure, Metamorphosis, Evolutionary significance

Trochophore Larva

What Is Trochophore Larva? Trochophore larva refers as an early free-swimming stage found by many marine invertebrates like annelids, mollusks, etc. It can define as – a small, spherical or pear-shape larva having a ring of cilia (called prototroch) around its middle part. This larva usually formed after fertilization → from the zygote → and … Read more

Pureline Selection – Procedure, Applications, Advantages, Disadvantages

Pureline Selection

Pureline selection is a method used in plant breeding where plants are chosen from a single self-pollinated variety to create a population that is genetically uniform. It was first introduced by Johannsen (1903) while working with beans (Phaseolus vulgaris). The method based on assumption that variation seen in self-pollinated crops is mostly due to environment … Read more

Classification of Fish (pisces) – Systematic Classification and Based on feeding habit, habitat and manner of reproduction

Position of Fishes in Phylum Chordata

Fish can define as cold-blooded aquatic vertebrates that mostly breathe with gills, having fins and scales (mostly). They live in freshwater / marine places; like rivers, ponds, and oceans etc. The body usually divided as head, trunk and tail — this pattern can vary bit between species. Respiration occurs by gills, which are placed at … Read more

Gradient PCR – Definition, Principle, Process, Functions

Gradient PCR - Definition, Principle, Process, Functions

Gradient PCR can be defined as a PCR optimization method where a range of temperature’s is tested simultaneously, so the best Annealing Temperature for primer’s is identified easily. It is well known that this technique occur’s in a thermal cycler that has a Gradient Block, And this block create’s small temperature differences (like 48°C–62 °C) … Read more

Nondisjunction – Types, Causes, Consequences, Examples

Nondisjunction - Types, Causes, Consequences, Examples

What is Nondisjunction? Types of Nondisjunction Causes of Nondisjunction Molecular Biology of Nondisjunction Consequences of Nondisjunction The nondisjunction is the failure when chromosomes don’t separate properly during cell division (like meiosis/mitosis), causing abnormal number of chromosomes in daughter cells. Such imbalance is termed as aneuploidy, sometimes loss of one (monosomy 2n–1) or gain of one … Read more

Membrane Filtration Method – Types, Advantages, Disadvantages, Applications

Membrane Filtration Method, Types, Advantages, Disadvantages, Applications.

Membrane Filter Technique can define as a physical separation process, which based mainly on size / molecular weight of particles in a liquid or gas stream. In this method a thin semi-permeable membrane (often made from cellulose nitrate/acetate) is used, and pressure is applied to push the feed solution by it. The smaller components pass … Read more
