In eukaryotes, chromosomes are fixed, self-replicating components of the cell nucleus. DNA and chromosomes carry genetic information from one generation to the next. Depending on the species, the number of chromosomes might be different. Humans, like many other animal and plant species, are diploid creatures (2n), meaning that the chromosomes are organized into sets of two. By using an optical microscope, scientists can observe chromosomes as they duplicate (metaphase). Each metaphase chromosome is made up of two components termed sister chromatids. They're both identical since DNA is copied throughout cell division. What are Homologous Chromosomes? Homologous chromosomes are present in ... Read More

Turner syndrome is a genetic disorder that affects only females and is characterized by a missing or incomplete X chromosome. There are two main types of Turner syndrome: classic Turner syndrome and mosaic Turner syndrome. The main difference between the two lies in the way the missing X chromosome is present in the body. What is Classic Turner Syndrome? Classic Turner syndrome is caused by the complete absence of one X chromosome in every cell of the body. This means that every cell in the body has only one X chromosome instead of the usual two. This type of Turner ... Read More

“Running may significantly impact one's body's health, regardless of speed.” A common kind of exercise is jogging or running.

Numerous health advantages come from regular jogging or running. Running could − As it involves muscle strength, it aids in developing strong bones. It also strengthens muscles and improves cardiovascular health. ... Read More

Introduction The basic unit of the nervous system is neurons that help to control various functions and movements of the body parts. Neurons are of various types including Motor neurons that allow the transmission of information from the brain to muscles and other vital organs of the body. Sensory neurons help to detect sound, light, taste, odour, heat sensation, and pressure and then send the messages to the brain. Some disorders of the nervous system include infections such as polio, meningitis, encephalitis, and epidural abscess. What is the Nervous System? Nervous system consists of two major parts ...

Introduction The most prominent symptom of a migraine, a common neurological condition, is a palpitation headache on one part of the brain. Physical exertion, bright lights, loud noises, or strong smells will probably make your migraine worse. It could endure for days or at least four hours. 12% of Americans are thought to have this hereditary disease. It is the sixth most incapacitating disease in the world, according to research. What is Migraine ? The brain and tissues around have been linked to a mysterious neurological disease called migraine. The trigeminovascular system and the cerebral cortex play key roles in ...

Introduction Hormones are the chemical messengers that are secreted in trace amounts by the endocrine cells. They transmit the information from one tissue to another tissue by diffusing it into the bloodstream. The messages transmitted to the target tissue help to control the metabolic and physiological activities in the target cells. A single hormone involves multiple effects on one target tissue or many different tissues. They are predominantly synthesized and released by the endocrine glands including the pituitary gland, adrenal gland, thyroid gland, pancreas, pineal gland, testes, and ovaries, however, they can also be produced and released in the non-endocrine ...

Appendicitis Appendicitis is a biological word for a condition in which the appendix becomes inflamed. It is a sac-like organ located next to the point where the big and small intestines converge in the human digestive tract. The modern human digestive system does not currently require the use of this organ. When the inflammation is not controlled in a timely manner, this organ inflates, resulting in pain, discomfort, and infection. Images Coming soon With a mean age of 28, appendicitis most frequently affects people between the ages of 5 and 45. 233 incidents per 100, 000 individuals roughly represent the ... Read More

Introduction Lysosome is an important membrane-bound cell organelle that is present in the eukaryotic cell of animals. The area that is present between the membrane is called the lumen. The lumen is acidic in nature due to its pH level which lies between 4.5 to 6. It contains digestive enzymes that help in the breakdown of proteins, nucleic acids, carbohydrates, and lipids. In addition to this, lysosomes are engaged in various processes of cells like metabolism of energy, waste discharge, cell signaling, cell membrane repair, etc. The lysosome is also known as the suicide bag of the cell.
