Introduction Regeneration is a method where an organism breaks up into different parts with the help of special cells. It refers to the capacity of the organisms to generate damaged or lost body parts. Here each of the parts can also further produce individual organisms. In the case of regeneration, the organisms are not able to form a new cell suddenly. Instead of this, the specialised cells form a mass of cells and it is changed further to create different cells. Figure 1: Regeneration in Planaria Information regarding Regeneration Regeneration is considered to be a natural process and ... Read More

Introduction In any public territory, there is a need to record the available information regarding rare species. The Red Data Book refers to a catalogue that holds information about rare animals, fungi, and plants. Sometimes, there are different local subspecies available. The Red Data Book contains information which is available to use for any research purpose and it can help in understanding the preservation process of rare species in different ways. What is the Information the Red Book Contains? The information in the Red Data Books actually helps researchers a lot to find out information regarding rare species. The ... Read More

Introduction The rapid cutting down of trees for meeting the unwanted and ever-increasing needs of man has resulted in deteriorating the standards of life on the earth. All the organisms are affected by the impacts of deforestation. Several threats have been generated including massive change in the climate that is resulting in the change of living habitats of the organisms of that area. More to this, the soil is becoming unfertile for agriculture, reduction in rainfall, and irregular rainfall with seasonal drought, adding to the worsening effects of the greenhouse. What is Reforestation? Figure 1: Reforestation The term reforestation ... Read More

Introduction The process of reproduction is classified into two divisions - they are known as sexual and asexual reproduction. During the time of sexual reproduction, there are two of the same species that share an offspring by giving some of the traits. The second type of reproduction is known as asexual reproduction. In this type of reproduction a living organism is able to make offspring without the help of a partner. They have several ways in order to reproduce themselves. In this form of reproduction, all the species can extend the existence of their order to live on the planet. ... Read More

Introduction The system of renin-angiotensin is basically attached with the generation of blood pressure by modulating the water reabsorption, vascular tone, sodium reabsorption and volume of blood. Their primary function is building resistance vessels, instigating the delivery of sodium at different levels, stimulating vascular and cardiac hypertrophy, and many others. What is Renin? Renins are defined as one of the most remarkable enzymes that are secreted by the kidneys of human beings. There are probabilities of being liberated by body placenta as well. The enzyme plays a very significant role in the complete physiological system, as it helps in ... Read More

Introduction A change in chromosome number or a change in the shape or destruction of a part of a chromosome can cause chromosomal aberration. An improper cell cycle and cell division results in chromosomal aberration. Chromosomal aberration can lead to the loss of functional genes or the addition of a few functional genes hence the addition of some characters in the case of aneuploidy. The major reason for chromosomal aberration among many others includes errors during cell division (that is during Mitosis and Meiosis). In case of errors during mitosis division, it occurs in somatic chromosomes, while errors during ... Read More

Introduction A seed is basically a plant embryo that has not been developed yet. In flowering plants, the seeds develop and grow into a fully matured plant through the process of germination. For agricultural purposes, the seed to be sown should be of good quality and must be healthy, that is they should not be infected by disease or infested by pests. Hence, for a better output that is the crop yield, the input that is the seeds should be selected properly. In order to understand why healthy seeds, sink in water, let us first know what are good quality ... Read More

Introduction Plant respiration is a process and for this, they require oxygen and they return carbon dioxide. The movement of air between the atmosphere and cells of the species is seen. The process witnesses the inhalation of oxygen and exhalation of carbon dioxide gas. Parts for the respiration of plants are leaves, stems, and roots. About Plant Respiration The process of respiration is considered a biochemical process that helps living organisms to get the required energy. Glucose is an essential element for starting this process and it is diverted into energy that helps in the production of carbon dioxide and ... Read More

Introduction Plants have a dependency on soil for water and mineral nutrients. These materials are stored via specific biological cycles. Xylem carries the absorbed water and minerals with a continuous pressure flow created due to water vapour loss in leaves. In the process of carrying nutrients, water appears as a potential carrier and plays a pivotal role in the transportation of nutrients in plants. What is plant physiology? Plant physiology refers to plant behaviour and function including the dynamic process of metabolism, growth, reproduction, communication, and defence to stay alive in the environment. Different plant organs, cells, and tissues ... Read More

Introduction This particular process is very common in different types of plants like algae as well as fungi. This process refers to the reproduction process of animals where diploid as well as haploid types of cells are found. The alteration process fully depends on the plants. For example, in the bryophytes category plants, the haploid is the dominant generation, and the diploid is the dominant generation in the tracheophytes category plants. What is the alternation of generations? The cycle of life of a plant is alternating between the diploid sporophyte as well as haploid ... Read More
