Asexual reproduction

Ophiothrix spiculata (a.k.a. spiny brittle stars) are the most diverse organisms in phylum Echinodermata that can be found in the ocean all over the world. They are spotted in many different colors such as orange, yellow, red, blue, black, or even tanned with reddish and white bands on their arms. Most spiny brittle stars have either round or star-shape body that are usually not larger than three centimeters. The body is called the central disk which consists of the dorsal shield (aboral side)…

strictly carried out through insect pollination or entomophily. Other researchers have gone on to mention that wind or mixed pollination involving both insect and wind are involved. To establish which type of pollination is involved in the plant reproduction process, it is important to study the floral structure of the flower. If the flower in question is greenish, small and dangle in the wind as is the case with the Manitoba maple, the wind pollination is likely…

according to the members of the President’s Council on Bioethics is “a form of reproduction in which offspring result not from the chance union of egg and sperm (sexual reproduction) but from the deliberate replication of the genetic makeup of another single individual (asexual reproduction).” A clone is copied material, which has the same genetic makeup as the original (NHGRI). Therefore, cloning is the asexual reproduction of an organism that is the genetic duplicate of another…

to better understand the ability to resist malaria infection (1). Other methods such as dealing with the P. falciparum merozoite organizing protein (PfMOP) could help in stopping asexual reproduction of malaria (3). Through knocking out that specific protein in testing, malaria parasites are unable to finish reproduction and will lead to maturation stagnation followed by death…

In this globalization era with well-developed nations and advanced technologies, it happens where great minds combined with those technological advancements, have a lead to creations and achievements that somehow would have been impossible to be created or achieved. Genetic engineering made it possible to this matter. Generally, it is understood that genetic engineering itself is the technique of altering the genetic constitution of cells (or individuals) by the selective removal, insertion or…

Introduction Development, replication, and inheritance depend on the cell division cycle. A series of events is carried out in a cell leads to division and duplication. Two daughter cells get produced. Prokaryotes that lack a cell nucleus forms binary fission. Cells with a nucleus like eukaryotes the cell cycle are divided into three periods. Interphase, the (M) mitotic phase, and cytokinesis. In Interphase, the cell increases to accumulate nutrients needed for mitosis, preparing it for cell…

I have worked all my life. After my parents split my mother depended heavily on her work as a seamstress to pay the bills. I remember being seven years old staying up until 12am on a school night to help my mother trim threads off clothing. Fast forward to my pre-teen years, my mother, my two younger siblings, and I would cram into a Toyota minivan headed towards the city of Fontana to sell clothing on the weekends. A summer break was unheard of to me. Having to see my mother work so hard I…

An Overview of the Determinant of the Genomic Diversity Genetic diversity provides variation in which that selection can act upon and it determines the response of population towards environmental change. Therefore, knowledge in genetic diversity is crucial for developing breeding strategies and also for the management of endangered species. Understanding the determinant genetic diversity is also essential for resolving the long-standing riddle in population genetics, the disproportionately…

Hydnellum peckii goes by many common names. It is commonly known as Strawberries and Cream, the Bleeding Hydnellum, the Red-Juice Tooth, and the Devil’s Tooth. The fungus earns this name from the look of its fruiting body. The newly fruited mushroom body is a cream color with blood red secretions. Tooth-like projections emerge from the underside of the fungi’s cap. These teeth are slender, are less than five millimeters long, and are the structures that produce the spores on the fruiting body.…
