Biology Notes on Homothallism | Fungi

Read the below given notes to learn about homothallism, a phenomenon in those fungi which are self-fertile and self-compatible. Homothallism is the phenomenon in those fungi which are self-fertile and self-compatible. Such fungi are known as Homothallic fungi. The thallus in these fungi is of one and single strain, thus two mycelia developing from a single spore are capable of [...]

Study Notes on Bacterial Motility | Microbiology

The below mentioned article provides a study note on bacterial motility. Some bacteria are self-motile. They are able to swim through the liquid in which they live. They cannot crawl over dry surfaces or fly through the air. Motility is universal among the spirilla, common among the bacilli but lacking or rare in coccal forms. The organs of locomotion are [...]

Overlapping Gene | Genetics

The below mentioned article provides notes on overlapping gene. In 1940s, Beadle and Tatum proposed one-gene-one protein hypothesis which explains that one gene encodes for one protein. However, if one gene consists of 1,500 base pairs, a protein of 500 amino acids in length would be synthesized. In addition, if the same sequence read in two different ways, two different [...]
