What is sex determination? Living organisms, with a very few exceptions, are differentiated into male and female individuals based on their morphological, physiological and behavioral characteristics. Even though the mechanism greatly varies, the sexes of the individuals are genetically determined. The biological system that determines the development of sexual characteristics […]

Difference Between Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic Translation
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 […]
