Science is beautiful when it makes simple explanations of phenomena or connections between different observations. Stephen W. Hawking, 2011 What is Photoreactivation? Photoreactivation is a type of DNA repair mechanism present in prokaryotes, archaea and in many eukaryotes. It is the recovery of ultraviolet irradiated damages of DNA by visible […]
“Genetic variation is important for evolution, but the survival of the individuals demand genetic stability” DNA is the genetic information carrier molecule in the cell and thus it is very essential to keep the genetic information intact. Even though DNA holds a prime position, it is one of the highly […]
Prokaryotic vs Eukaryotic Translation Prokaryotic Vs Eukaryotic Translation: Translation is the process of protein synthesis in the cells. It is the second step in genetic expression in which the ribosomes decodes the information present in mRNA to synthesize proteins according the sequence of codons present in them with different amino […]
Prokaryotic vs Eukaryotic Transcription Prokaryotic Vs Eukaryotic Transcription: Transcription is a process by which the genetic information present in the DNA is copied to an intermediate molecule (RNA). The sequence in the RNA is complementary to that of the gene which is transcribed and thus the RNA retains the same […]
Difference Between Prokaryotes and Eukaryotes: Prokaryotes and Eukaryotes are the two fundamental or basic classes of cells. They are mainly distinguished by their size and internal structures. The existence of two classes of cells without any intermediate type represents one of the most fundamental evolutionary separations in the living world. […]
