Lecture Notes on the Genetic Code

The below mentioned article provides an overview on the Genetic Code. From the study of protein synthesis, it is evident that amino acid sequence in the protein molecule is determined by DNA which carries information for this purpose. But where does the information lie? If we look at DNA chain the deoxy-ribonucleotides backbone seems to be of no help as [...]

Variations in Chromosome Number to Plant and Animal

In this article we will discuss about the Variations in Chromosome Number to Plant and Animal.  Every cell in the body of living organism is provided with a packet of genetic material (the nucleus) which contains chromosomes. The number of chromosomes in the nuclei of a given species is fixed. Some species of plants and animals have identical chromosome numbers. [...]

Artificial Induction of Polyploidy

The below mentioned article provides a study note on the Artificial Induction of Polyploidy. In recent years, a number of methods have been worked out to induce polyploidy in plants. Some of them are described below: 1. By Radiation: Polyploidy can be induced in plants by exposing their certain parts, such as vegetative buds and flower buds, to radiations of [...]
