In this article we will discuss about:- 1. Meaning of Bioinformatics 2. Branches of Bioinformatics 3. Applications of Bioinformatics in Crop Improvement 4. Advantages 5. Limitations. Meaning of Bioinformatics: Bioinformatics is the computer aided study of biology and genetics. In other words, it refers to computer based study of genetics and other biological information. Now the science of bioinformatics is [...]
In this article we will discuss about the modes and mechanisms of origin of species. Modes of Origin of Species: The main modes of speciation are: 1. Sympatric speciation: This is the origin of species without geographic isolation. Sympatric species originate by instantaneous development of isolating mechanisms within a deme. Once reproductive isolation is established each population follows its own [...]
