Genetic engineering has proved quite useful in agriculture, environmentalist may not agree with this, but we can’t deny the fact that genetic engineering has helped to develop genetically modified (GM) crops that are resistant to drought, pests and diseases, have improved nutrient content, etc. which not only helps to increase food production but rely our … Read more
Cellular respiration is a series of metabolic reactions that occur within cells in the cytoplasm and mitochondria in which food in the form of sugar (glucose) and the presence of oxygen is converted to carbon dioxide, water, and energy (ATP). In the presence of oxygen, sugar is broken down to produce energy in the form … Read more
Angiosperm which comprises a group of plants that produce flowers and bear their seeds in fruits is divided into two different groups that are monocots and dicots primarily based on the number of cotyledons that is part of the embryo within the seed of a plant. However, there are distinct features that are visible in … Read more

Point mutation is a type of genetic mutation in which a single nucleotide base is changed, inserted or deleted from a DNA or RNA sequence of a genome of an organism. It usually takes place during DNA replication. Ethylmethane sulfonate and N-methyl-N-nitrosourea are the most common chemical mutagens that induce point mutations in DNA. It … Read more
A flower is a reproductive structure of a flowering plant. Parts of a flower consist of a peduncle, receptacle, sepals, petals, stamen, anther, pistil, stigma and ovary. It is primarily responsible for the reproduction and formation of fruits in plants and also serves as a source of food for other organisms such as bees, butterflies, … Read more
