Microbes Microbes, short for microorganisms, are microscopic organisms that include various types of bacteria, viruses, fungi, and protists. They are found in every habitat on Earth and play crucial roles in various biological processes. Here’s a brief overview of different types of microbes: Microbes have both positive and negative impacts on human life. On the…
Adaptive radiation Adaptive radiation is a process in which a single ancestral species gives rise to multiple descendant species, each adapted to exploit different ecological niches or habitats. It is a form of diversification where organisms rapidly evolve to fill available ecological opportunities. Here are some key points to understand adaptive radiation: Adaptive radiation is…
Klinefelter syndrome Klinefelter syndrome is a genetic disorder that affects males. It is characterized by the presence of an extra X chromosome (XXY), instead of the usual XY chromosome pattern in males. This additional chromosome can cause various physical, developmental, and reproductive issues. In the context of the AIIMS (All India Institute of Medical Sciences)…
Heredity Heredity refers to the passing of traits or characteristics from parents to offspring through genetic information. It is the process by which genetic information is transmitted from one generation to the next. The study of heredity is crucial in understanding how traits are inherited and how they contribute to the diversity and variation within…
Sexual reproduction in plants Sexual reproduction in plants is the process by which plants produce offspring through the fusion of male and female reproductive cells or gametes. It involves the formation of flowers, pollination, fertilization, and the development of seeds. Sexual reproduction in plants ensures genetic diversity, as it involves the exchange and recombination of…
Fragmentation Fragmentation is a biological process that involves the breaking of a parent organism into multiple parts, each of which can potentially develop into a complete organism. This process is commonly observed in various organisms, including plants, fungi, and some invertebrates. In plants, fragmentation can occur through the breaking of stems, roots, or other plant…
Binary fission The syllabus for the integrated course at AIIMS (All India Institute of Medical Sciences) may vary from year to year, so it’s always best to consult the official AIIMS website or contact the institution directly for the most up-to-date information. However, I can provide you with some general information about binary fission, which…
Methods to extract Methods of extraction are techniques used to separate and isolate desired substances from a mixture or matrix. Here are some commonly used methods of extraction: These are just a few examples of the many methods of extraction available. The choice of extraction method depends on the nature of the mixture and the…
Types Of Emulsions Emulsions are a type of colloid where two immiscible liquids are dispersed together, with one liquid (the dispersed phase) being finely dispersed as droplets within the other liquid (the continuous phase). There are several types of emulsions based on the nature of the dispersed and continuous phases. Here are some common types…
Electrophoresis Electrophoresis is a laboratory technique used to separate charged particles, such as proteins, DNA, and RNA, based on their size, charge, or other properties. It is a fundamental method in molecular biology, biochemistry, and related fields. The principle of electrophoresis is based on the movement of charged particles in an electric field. When an…
