For a population to be in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, the evolutionary forces should not be present such as gene flow, mutation, natural... View Article
According to Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, in the absence of evolutionary forces, the gene pool of a population remains constant. The sum of allele... View Article
If we talk about genetic code length, then it is a trinucleotide sequence in all the organisms, which codes for an amino acid. Any three... View Article
Charles Darwin gave the theory of evolution by natural selection. Natural selection refers to the differential survival and reproduction capacity... View Article
Genome is the total genetic material or DNA present in an organism. DNA is organised as chromosomes and present in the nucleus of each eukaryotic... View Article
Natural selection is the process by which organisms that are better adapted to the environment survive and reproduce more. Industrial melanism is... View Article
Yes, every cell of a multicellular organism contains the entire genome. Cell differentiation arises due to differences in gene expression.... View Article
99.9 percent of the genome is identical in all the people. Variations exist due to various allelic forms of the gene present in an individual.... View Article
Incomplete dominance refers to the blending of characters in heterozygous conditions, where both the characters are partially expressed. So we... View Article
In a species most of the genes are the same. 99.9% of nucleotides are the same in all people. Genes exist in two or more different forms known as... View Article
Gene frequency in a population tends to remain stable and constant from generation to generation unless there is an evolutionary force acting on... View Article
The five factors that a population should have, in order to be in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium of constant gene pool or genetic equilibrium are no... View Article
No, humans don’t have the largest genome size. In fact, many unicellular organisms have larger genome size than human beings. A human haploid... View Article
The end product of denitrification is nitrogen gas, which returns to the atmosphere. Nitrate is reduced ultimately to N2 by a series of... View Article
Chlorine is a micronutrient. It is absorbed as a chloride ion. It is required for water-splitting during photosynthesis. It also helps in ionic... View Article
Micronutrients are required in very less quantity. Micronutrients required by plants are iron, manganese, molybdenum, zinc, boron, copper,... View Article
Nitrification and denitrification are the two processes of the nitrogen cycle. In Nitrification, nitrifying bacteria oxidise ammonia to nitrite... View Article
Yes, vitamins are micronutrients. Micronutrients include vitamins and minerals. They are essential for growth and development and their... View Article
