Prokaryotic vs Eukaryotic Chromosome Prokaryotes and Eukaryotes are the two major domains of living organisms. This classification is on the basis of the features of their cellular features primarily the nature of membrane bounded organelles and organization of the genetic materials. Both prokaryotes and eukaryotes contain the genetic materials which […]

Single Stranded DNA (ssDNA) vs Double Stranded DNA (dsDNA): Similarities and Differences
ssDNA vs dsDNA The DNA molecules are not always double stranded helical structures, sometimes they occur in single stranded form called ssDNA. In 1959 Robert Sinsheimer discovered a unique bacteriophage called φX 174 (which infect Escherichia coli) with single stranded DNA as its genetic material. Even though the chemical composition […]

We wish to suggest a structure for the salt of deoxyribose nucleic acid (DNA). This structure has novel features which are of considerable biological interest. Watson & Crick, 1953 DNA and RNA are the two types of nucleic acids (a class of macromolecules in the cells) present in all prokaryotic […]

Apoptosis vs Necrosis Apoptosis and Necrosis Apoptosis and Necrosis are two types of cell death occur in organisms. The cells undergo death when the cell death becomes necessary as a part of developmental process or they fail to adapt to injuries. Both these types of cell deaths differ in their […]
