Simple Staining – Procedure, Principle, Result

Simple Staining Result

The main purpose of simple staining is to determine the cell shape, size, and arrangement of bacterial cells.

Negative Staining – Principle, Procedure, Result

Negative Staining result

In negative staining method, an acidic dye is used known as India Ink or Nigrosin. When the bacterial cells are exposed to this stain, due to the presence of acidic nature it readily gives up a hydrogen ion (proton) and the chromophore. As a result, the dye becomes negatively charged, now the bacterial cell surface deflects the stain.

Transgenic Plants Examples, Definition, Procedure, Application

What are Transgenic Plants? Definition of Transgenic Plants Transgenic plants are genetically modified organisms in which DNA from another species is inserted into their genome through genetic engineering techniques to confer new traits, such as pest resistance or improved nutritional content. Different Methods to Create Transgenic Plant Creating transgenic plants involves various techniques to introduce … Read more

The Wobble Hypothesis – Definition, Exaplanation, Importance

The Wobble Hypothesis - Definition, Exaplanation, Importance

What is The Wobble Hypothesis? The Wobble Hypothesis, proposed by Francis Crick in 1966, provides an explanation for the degeneracy of the genetic code. Degeneracy refers to the fact that multiple codons can code for the same amino acid. According to the Wobble Hypothesis, the precise pairing between the bases of the codon and the … Read more

Difference Between Homologous Chromosomes and Sister Chromatids

difference in composition of homologous chromosomes and sister chromatids.

What are Homologous Chromosomes? Homologous chromosomes are fundamental components of the genetic architecture in diploid organisms, including humans. These chromosomes are pairs that have the same structure and genes, though they may carry different alleles, or variations, of those genes. Understanding homologous chromosomes is crucial for grasping the mechanisms of heredity and genetic variation. What … Read more
