Introduction Productivity is an important part of the ecosystem which is based on the increased rate of biomass. The measurement of this process is mainly done by per unit area. Here biomass is an important aspect and it is a matter of dry mass. The factor of production depends on the ecosystem and the ecosystem consists of a specific number of producers, consumers, and decomposers. It depends on the two factors such as primary and secondary productivity. Information regarding Productivity It is seen that ecology shows productivity as the generation rate of biomass within an ecosystem. The net of this ... Read More

Introduction Treatment is essential in defining cures for the diseases that are responsible for infecting an individual. The microbes on entering the body of an individual, survive through the process that is predominantly biochemical as they tend to lack any cellular mechanism. However, the intake of medicines helps in curing the disease within the infected person. The medicines tend to cease the synthesis of the bacteria by blocking the pathway. However, the medicine does not affect the cells of the infected person. What is Treatment? The notion of treatment is quite necessary and is applicable when an individual is affected ... Read More

Introduction Genetics is the most essential study in the biology that refers to the process of understanding the available attributes of distinguishing factors and similarities in a species. Both variation and inheritance are connected with genetics in biology. Due to inheritance, different traits or characteristics are transferred among species whereas due to the variation, different characteristics can be distinguished and determined in different living beings. Incomplete Dominance Figure 1: Incomplete dominance The situation when neither two alleles are dominant and the phenotype of the heterozygote does not correspond to any of the parents is known as incomplete dominance. The ... Read More

Introduction Genetics is the process of bearing the characteristics of one to another generation. Additionally, via genetics, it's possible to spread normal elements that are noticeable in humans as well as animals, such as colours, shape, and even some diseases. Moreover, according to biology, genetics refers to the study of hereditary and the transmission of the features that are available in the body, such as contrast and similarities, from parents to children. What is Heredity? In tutorials on biology, heredity refers to passing the characteristics to the next generation. The procedure of heredity appears among all the different living organisms ...

Introduction Any kind of genetic disorder can be diagnosed properly by critically examining a pedigree chart. It helps in understanding the sources and type of any particular disease. The risk of any genetic disorder can be reduced by valuing a family pedigree chart. In preparing this chart, some important specifications are utilized and properly followed. What is a Pedigree Chart? A pedigree chart is useful in understanding the different genetic characteristics of any organism. In a pedigree chart, a diagram is prepared in which the occurrence types and forms of different phenotypes are included. In a whole pedigree chart, some ... Read More
