Cryptogram of DNA | Genetics

The dictionary of coded language of genetic information is called cryptogram. The simplest and smallest possible code is a single code or singlet code which specifies that one amino acid is synthesized by one nucleotide. Singlet code is not possible for coding 20 different amino acids. Then how many letters would be used as a code for a single amino [...]

Recombination: Definition, Mechanism and Types | Microbiology

In this article we will discuss about:- 1. Definition of Recombination 2. Mechanism of Recombination 3. Types. Definition of Recombination: The most important features of organisms are to adapt in the environment and to maintain their DNA sequence in the cells generation to generations with very little alterations. In long term survival of organisms depends on genetic variations, a key [...]
