Nucleotides

Science > Biology > Gene its Nature, Expression and Regulation > Nucleotides In this article, we shall study structural units of nucleic acid called nucleotides. In 1869, Friedrich Miescher separated cellular substance from the nuclei of pus cell and called it ‘Nuclein’. Due to acidic nature, the substance is further called as nucleic acid. There are […]

Polygenic Inheritance

Science > Biology > Genetic Basis of Inheritance > Polygenic Inheritance Mendel performed his experiments with garden pea plant, which has traits or alleles having complete dominance and hence the laws of inheritance were proved. Other scientists performed their experiments on different plants and animals and found deviations to Mendelian ratios. Depending upon these experiments and […]
