Medicinal plant is an organism of the kingdom Plantae; now specifically, a living organism of the embryophyta (land plants) or of the chlorophyta (green algae), a eukaryote that includes double-membrane bounded chloroplasts in its cells containing chlorophyll a and b. Medicinal plants contain a large variety of chemical substances that possesses important therapeutic properties used in the treatment of many diseases. Increasingly industrialized societies are developing drugs and…

Doctors are tried to isolate the physicals genes of the baby. There are two types of advanced reproductive technology that are allowed on humans the first one is (I.V.F) in vitro fertilisation .Using in vitro fertilisation it allows doctors to reduce the risk that the baby will be born with a genetic disorder. I.V.F allows doctors to fertilise an egg and sperm outside the body in a lab. They are also able to isolate a sperm cell to determine the gender and gene of the baby. The second is…

a complex and sophisticated process. This high level of complexity is due to the hundreds of thousands of interactions that can be enabled through organization. It is a known that promoter elements and enhancer elements work in unison to regulate gene expression. Often times enhancers are found hundreds of kilo-bases away from their interacting promoter elements. These enhancers initiate promoter activation via interactions amongst transcription factor binding sites. As previously mentioned,…

The Four Spheres of Earth Before we can learn of the compositional layers and mechanical layers of the interiors of earth, we need to know some basic concept of the four spheres. As we may know the four spheres responsible for life on earth: lithosphere, atmosphere, hydrosphere and biosphere; and their interaction with each other is called Geosphere (Fig. 1.). Another sphere that isn’t included among the rest for its different property is Pedosphere. Pedosphere is basically the interaction…

may recognize. Where does man draw the line when it comes to ‘playing doctor’ or ‘playing God’? Historically, human beings have descended from a single gene pool, with natural selection being the only method for eradicating undesirable gene variations. What happens when scientists are able to enhance desirable genes and eradicate undesirable genes within the genetic code? By using genetic engineering, this is exactly what scientists want to find out. Because of this, Genetic engineering and…

Parthenogenesis The concept of “virgin birth”, as the name parthenogenesis directly translates, is not one of recent design. The entirety of the Judeo-Christian world is struck with the emphasis on Jesus Christ’s mother, Mary, and her birth without relation. This, however, was seen to be a (highly debated) miracle, without chance of recurrence, until now. Until the 20th century, it was thought that animals needed sex to reproduce, but in recent years, it has been made clear that even vertebrae…

Plants reproduce by asexual reproduction or pollination in most cases, they do this in order to make seeds. Seeds are the embryonic, or unborn, state of a plant. These seeds are made to carry the genetic material and make new plants. In most cases a plant wants its seeds to be spread of moved to a new place not close to the parent plant, this is done through seed dispersal. There are many types of seed dispersal for example wind, water, animals, and other biotic and abiotic factors. One of the…

Chapter 01: Introduction 1.1. Xenobiotics The term xenobiotic is derived from Greek words, “xenos”, meaning strange or foreign, and “bios”, meaning life. Thus xenobiotics are exogenous chemicals which includes natural and synthetic chemicals. These can be pesticides, chemical vapors from automobiles, industrial chemicals, plastics, secondary plant metabolites, toxins produced by plants, molds and animals, food additives etc. Xenobiotics are considered as pollutants, but all the pollutants are…
