The Structure of DNA is a Double-Stranded Molecule
Each spiraling strand is comprised of a sugar phosphate backbone and attached bases connected to a complimentary strand. The complimentary strand is connected by non-covalent hydrogen bonding between paired bases. The bases are adenine, thymine, ctyosine, and gaunine. The fundamental building block of DNA is the nucleotide. The nucleotide has three parts. A nitrogen-containing pyrimidine…

Investigation Related To Hormones
Hormones are organic substances that are secreted by plants and animals and that function in the regulation of physiological activities and in maintaining homeostasis. They carry out their functions by evoking responses from specific organs or tissues that are adapted to react to minute quantities of them. The classical view of hormones is that they…

Significance of HER Receptor Expression
Human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) is a proto-oncogene which codes for a transmembrane glycoprotein (p185), this means it is a gene which has the potential to cause cancer, and it is a tyrosine kinase on the membrane. In roughly 25% of breast cancers it is active and overexpressed, it allows the cells to…

Bacteriocin in Food: An Emerging Biotechnological Approach to Improve the Efficacy and Stability of Antimicrobials
Food applications Encapsulation technology had been exploited as an alternative to protect antimicrobials, potentially enhancing their efficacy and stability in foods (Mozafari et al. 2008). Current research focused on bacteriocin food biotechnologies delivered the antimicrobials via continuous or sustained release (Chi-Zhang et al. 2004). Controlled delivery improves the efficacy of bacteriocins by ensuring the peptides…

Dragonsfly Biological Classification
The order Odonata is divided into three suborders: The Zygoptera, or damselflies, which can fold their wings over their abdomen, the Anisoptera or Dragonflies which can’t, and thus hold their wings straight out from their thorax, and the Anisozygoptera, an ancient suborder possible once containing the seeds of both the other 2 more modern suborders…

The Ability To Reproduce
The unifying characteristics of all living things. Sexual reproduction produces offspring that are genetically different from their parents. Asexual reproduction produces offspring genetically identical to their parent. Asexual Reproduction Fission, budding, fragmentation, and the formation of rhizomes and stolons are some of the mechanisms that allow organisms to reproduce asexually. The hydra produces buds; starfish…

Prokaryotes Known as Eubacteria
Prokaryotes have three principal structures which are posts, cocci and winding. The bacterial cell divider is irrefutably the most essential supporter of cell shape. Alive and well of cell divider, closeness or nonappearance of flagellum, and if appear, spots of flagellum, the eubacteria can be requested by Gram Stain. Above all, gram positive tiny creatures…
