(3+2=5) Ans→1) Selection of Donor Cells: Somatic cells (e.g., mammary gland cells) are collected from a donor sheep and cultured. 2) Preparation of Egg Cell: An unfertilized egg … Read more

a) Describe the elongation process of translation in E.coli with suitable diagram. State the function of Aminoacyl-synthetase in translation. (4+1) Ans→ The elongation process of translation in E. coli involves the addition of amino acids to a growing polypeptide chain. It takes place at the ribosome, which has three main sites: the A site (aminoacyl … Read more

Genetics 2019 1.) Answer any ten questions from the following: a) State the law of segregation. Ans→ Law of Segregation states that during gamete formation, the alleles for each gene  segregate from each other so that each gamete carries only one allele for each gene. b) What is incomplete dominance? Ans→ Incomplete dominance is a … Read more

Developmental biology is the field of biology that studies the process by which organisms grow and develop. Some of the Terms of Developmental Biology: Blastula: The early stage of the embryo, characterized by a hollow sphere of cells. Blastocoel: The fluid-filled cavity inside the blastula. Gastrula: The stage following the blastula, during which the three … Read more

Lac Operon (Prokaryotes) Discovered By: François Jacob and Jacques Monod in 1961 (1) Genes Housekeeping genes: “Always cell are on” . Some genes in bacterial cells are important to the life of the cell. Thus their expressions occur constitutively and not subject to regulation. Inducible gene: “Normally off”. Because it induces or switch on the gene. … Read more
