Science > Biology > General Biology > Diversity of Living Organisms > Binomial Nomenclature Biologists follow universally accepted principles to provide scientific names to known organisms. Each name has two components – the Generic name (genus) and the specific epithet (species name). Hence the system is called binomial nomenclature. We can compare the generic (genus) […]
Science > Biology > General Biology > Diversity of Living Organisms > Taxonomic Hierarchy In this article, we shall study the taxonomic hierarchy and the concept of species. The Concept of Species: A group of living organisms consisting of similar individuals capable of exchanging genes or interbreeding is called species. They are usually described in […]
Science > Biology > General Biology > Branches of Biology > Branches of Biology (Brief Idea) In the previous article, we have studied the importance of biology. In this article, we shall study different branches of biology. On the Basis of Kind of Organism: Depending upon the kind of organism, the branches of biology are […]
Science > Biology > Introduction to Biology > Importance of the Study of Biology Biology is a branch of science which studies living beings that all plants and animals including humans. It is a word derived from Greek words (Greek: bios = life; logos = study). No one can say when the study of biology exactly […]
In this article, we shall study the subject matter of ownership and the modes of acquisition of ownership. The Subject Matter of Ownership: The main subject-matter of ownership consists of a material object, such as land and chattels. But ownership is by no means limited to things of this category. A man’s wealth1 may consist […]
In the previous article, we have studied the meaning of the term “ownership”. In this article, we shall study the characteristics of ownership. According to Salmond, ownership denotes a relation between a person and an object forming the subject-matter of his ownership. It consists of complex of rights, all of which are rights in rem, […]
The concept of ownership is one of the fundamental juristic concepts common to all systems of law. The concept of ownership seems to have come into being when the society changed from nomadic to agricultural. Roman Law: In Roman law possession and ownership were recognized as two separate and distinct conceptions. In Roman law, a […]
Science > Physics > Oscillations: Simple Harmonic Motion > Graphical Representation of S.H.M. In this article, we shall study graphical representation of S.H.M. i.e. variation in displacement, velocity, and acceleration with time for a body performing S.H.M. starting from a) the mean position and b) from the extreme position. Graphical Representation of Linear S.H.M. of […]
Science > Physics > Electrostatics > Coulomb’s Law In this article, we shall study the COulomb’s law of electrostatics, its explanation, uses, and limitations. Coulomb’s Law of Electrostatics: Statement: The force of attraction or repulsion between two electric point charges is directly proportional to the product of the magnitude of the charges and inversely proportional […]
Science > Physics > Electrostatics > Normal Electric Induction In this article, we shall study the concept of normal electric induction, electric field, and electric flux. Normal Electrical Induction: The number of tubes of induction passing normally through a unit area in an electric field is called Normal electric induction. Total Normal Electrical Induction: The […]
