Cladistics is a phylogenetic classification method based on shared evolutionary traits, emphasizing common ancestry and phylogenetic relationships among organisms. Performing a cladistic analysis of a group of taxa involves a systematic process of character coding, character state identification, and the construction of a cladogram (phylogenetic tree). Here are the basic […]

Difference between Myelinated and Unmyelinated Neurons
Myelinated vs Unmyelinated Neurons Difference Between Myelinated and Unmyelinated Neurons: Neurons are the electrically excitable cells in our body that communicate with other cells via specialized connections called synapses. Each neuron has a cell body with many minute branched short protoplasmic extensions called Dendrites and an elongated unbranched protoplasmic extension […]

Difference between Axon and Dendrites (Dendron)
Axon vs Dendrites Difference between Axon and Dendrites: Axon and Dendrites are the two important parts of nerve cells involved in the conduction of nerve impulses. Dendrites are the branched projections from the neurons. Axon, better called as nerve fibres, are also cytoplasmic projections from the neurons. Unlike dendrites, the […]
