Jacob Syndrome In Hindi : Biology Blog

Image
                                     Jacob Syndrome  Jacob syndrome is due to presence of extra Y chromosome in males . This syndrome is also known as super male or criminal syndrome . Usually  in human being , there are 46 chromosomes but such a patients have extra Y chromosomes due to this the chromosome number changed from 46 to 47 . For more information click on this video .  Visit the full video for Jacob or supermale syndrome .    

Prokaryotes: Structure & Examples | Biology Blog

                              Prokaryotes                     characteristics, cell structure , examples of prokaryotic cells                                     Prokaryotes are consist of eubacteria and arceha. The Organism that comes under  Prokaryotes are microscopic, simple organisms and the cell lacks a true nucleus.   The major characteristics of prokaryotes are as below - Features of prokaryotic Organism - True membrane-bound nucleus -   absent DNA complexed with histone - absent Number of chromosomes - One Ribosome - 70 S and 80 S Unit membrane-bound organelles - absent cell wall -  present in most of the prokaryotic cells and made up of peptidoglycan. Mitosis and meiosis - absent genetic recombination -  partial Mitochondria -  absent chloroplast - present  Sterol in Plasma membrane - Present  Cell Structure Of Prokaryotes -  The word prokaryotes comes from the Greek word where Pro means before and Karyon means nucleus. The prokaryotic organism do

What are Important Features of Flatworms

                                  Phylum Platyhelminthus  Here are some important  features of phylum Platyhelminthus . Let's overview it .  Important Characters -                They are acoelomate and triploblastic . Body is leaf like or in ribbon shape forms and do not have  segmentation . They do not any circulatory system .  Digestive system absent . They follow organ level system of  organisation . They are bilaterally symmetrical organism . Hermaphrodite . Nervous system comprises of  brain and two longitudinal nerve which is connected at intervals by transverse commissures . They have internal fertilization . Asexual reproduction through fission .  Flame cells are present in the form of excretory system . Example - Taenia (Tapeworms )  , Fasciola ( Liver Fluke ) . 

Chargaff's rule of DNA

                                      Chargaff's Rule  Erwin Chargaff's proposed two rules which are known as chargaff rules. This role plays a key role in double helix structure discovery. Here the rules are : - Rule 1 -  In DNA structure the total number of purines is equal to a total number of pyrimidine .,i.e., the number of guanine units is equal to the number of cytosine unit and the number of adenine units is equal to thymine units. Rule 2 -   In every species there is a unique composition of  DNA  is present in its body. Hence ,  in double stranded structure of DNA                                       A = T =  1                                       G = C =  1                 Also, the percentage of C + G does not essentially equal to the percentage of A+ T
