Klinefelter (XXY )Syndrome - Causes , Symptoms

Image
                                  Klinefelter Syndrome This disorder is occurred due to the presence of additional presence of X chromosomes resulting in 44+ XXY type chromosome complement. This defect is due to the fusion of female gamete  ( A + XX ) with normal sperm (A+Y ) or normal egg (A+X ) with abnormal  ( A + XY). So these patients have 47 chromosomes instead of 46.  Generally the ratio of this disorder maybe  1 in 500 people.  The patients of this disorder have a high FSH hormone level and low androgen levels. Also, the chances of breast cancer and osteoporosis are increasing too much in males. Discovery -  The disorder is discovered by H. F. Klinefelter in 1942. Symptoms -             Infertility           Abnormal development of gonads          Mental retardedness        Hypogonadism ( error in the development of testes )         Gynecomastia ( female-like breast )         Weak bone development          High pitch voice (just like females )          Lo

Brown Algae - Classification, Characteristic features , Life Cycle

Image
                                          Brown Algae  Classification : - Kingdom -  Chromista                           Phylum -  Ochrophyta Class -         Phaeophyceae  Scientific Name - Phaeophyceae  Commonly Called - Sargassum  Weed Number Of Species -  1500 and mostly they are Marine. Colour - The color may vary from brown to olive green. This is due to the presence of pigment Fucoxanthin and chlorophyll ( a, c ). Characteristics - They are multicellular. They are capable to reproduce through vegetative reproduction (fragmentation ), asexual ( zoospore ), and sexual ( from isogamy to oogamy ). Laminarin and mannitol are present in it as a food material. They follow diplo-haplontic as well as a diplontic life cycle. Kelp is the largest algae among brown algae. The body is divided into stripe, blades, and bladder. Autotropic in nature. Presence of flagella at some point in life. The body contains a special organelle called Pyrenoids which works as

Rules of Vector Selection in Recombinant DNA Technology

Image
                                   Vector Vector are those DNA molecules which are capable of doing independent replication in the suitable host cell and into which the desired DNA segment can be inserted. The main example of vector are: plasmid, cosmid, phage and virus. Properties of vector for Recombinant DNA technology- It's isolation and purification should be simple and easy. It should be easily inserted into host cells. The size should not be less than 10 KB They should always contain selectable marker gene. They should contain specific endonuclease enzyme. They should have appropriate reporter gene, so that transformed host cell can easily be identified.
