Why Living Organisms Are Classified | Biology Blog

                                        Living Organisms  Hello Guys! We'll talk about why it's important to categorize living things. Therefore, before moving on to the subject, let's first talk about something really fundamental: What is Living ?   When we consider what it means to be alive, our minds automatically focus on characteristics like growth, metabolism, the ability to self-replicate, etc.  Let's talk about each of them: Growth -  Growth refers to an abrupt rise in size and quantity. Similar to how our fingers reach a specific height before stopping to develop, our height also rises for a limited time before stopping, however in plants, growth continues continually for the duration of their lives. Cell division is also how unicellular creature grow.  But as I mentioned earlier, growth is another name for a gain in mass. Using these standards, we can also assert that nonliving things, such as the collection of objects on any surface, mountains, et

Hemophilia - A Genetic Disorder : Biology Blog

                                        Hemophilia With haemophilia, a hereditary condition, blood continues to ooze after a minor injury, a seizure, or even after you pull out your tooth. This happens as a result of the body's lack of a blood clotting factor. Internal bleeding that affects the body's major organs, such as the brain, muscles, or joints, can occasionally occur. This type of bleeding is more serious. When we are harmed, our blood typically oozes out for a while before coagulation forms to prevent more bleeding. This is made possible by the body's 8th and 9th blood clotting factors, which regulate bleeding. If these factors are missing or absent, this condition develops. Symptoms - The symptoms of this disease may vary depending upon the level of the clotting factor.     Types Of hemophilia - There are two types of hemophilia - hemophilia A and hemophilia B.         The gene F8, which also gives instructions for producing blood clotting facto

How HIV Virus Replicate To Cause Immunodeficiency: Biology Blog

                                               HIV/ AIDS  HIV virus is generally a human Immunodeficiency virus that is the dangerous virus that attacks the immune system of the human and affects the fighter cells of the body (lymphocytes cells). The person suffered from this disease is more vulnerable to sickness. This disease is dangerous because someone can be unknowingly transferred to the other and the symptom of the disease appear after so many times. Although there are some medications available for inhibiting the spreads and lifespan of the sick person however still there is no cure for HIV. Modes Of Transmission -  having Sexual Intercourse with more than one person.                                             Sharing blood/blood products                                             Sharing the same needle                                             From infected mother to the child    Symptoms -  Replication Cycle -    The HIV virus attacks the macr
