Virology

Science > Biology > Branches of Biology > Zoology > VIROLOGY Virology is the branch of microbiology that focuses on the study of viruses and viral diseases. Viruses are infectious agents that consist of genetic material (either DNA or RNA) enclosed in a protein coat called a capsid. They lack cellular structure and can only […]

Microbiology

Science > Biology > Branches of Biology > Zoology > Microbiology Microbiology is the scientific study of microorganisms, which are microscopic organisms too small to be seen with the naked eye. These organisms include bacteria, viruses, fungi, algae, and protozoa. Microbiologists investigate various aspects of these microorganisms, including their structure, physiology, genetics, ecology, and interactions […]

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 […]

Genetic Material

Science > Biology > Gene its Nature, Expression and Regulation > Genetic Material DNA as Genetic Material Griffith Experiment: Background: Meischer isolated nuclein from nuclei of WBCs in 1869. Walter Sutton, Thomas Hunt Morgan established that the hereditary material lies in the nucleus in chromosomes. Chromosomes are formed of proteins and nucleic acid, DNA. For […]
