Biology and Health

Science > Biology > Introduction to Biology > Biology and Health List of Sub-Topics: Biology and health are intricately linked disciplines that delve into the complexities of life and well-being. Biology, the study of living organisms, provides the foundation for understanding the physiological, genetic, and environmental factors that influence human health. This essay aims to […]

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 […]

Mendel’s Dihybrid Cross Experiment

Science > Biology > Genetic Basis of Inheritance > Mendel’s Dihybrid Cross Experiment In this article, we shall study Mendel’s dihybrid cross experiment and its conclusions. The first scientific explanation of inheritance was given by Mendel in 1866. He performed a series of experiments on garden pea in a scientific manner and proposed rules. which are […]

Terminology of Genetics

Science > Biology > Genetic Basis of Inheritance > Terminology of Genetics In this article, we shall study the terminology of Genetics and understand the concept of alleles. Heredity: The transmission of characters from one generation to the next, that is from parents to offsprings (progeny) is known as heredity. These hereditary characters are present on […]

Characteristics of life

Science > Biology > General Biology > Introduction to Biology > Characteristics of life Biology is a branch of science which studies living beings that all plants and animals including humans. Biology examines the structure, function, growth, origin, evolution, and distribution of living things. It classifies and describes organisms, their functions, how species come into existence, and […]
