Similarly‚ the DNA of each plant and animal seems to be ultimately responsible for the size‚ shape and function of every protein that each of them makes. We will now take a small overview on history‚ physical properties ‚ chemical properties of DNA. Overview on History : DNA was first isolated by Friedrich Miescher ‚ who in 1869 discovered a microscopic substance

What makes humans unique? How do Humans differ from other species? These questions have been on the minds of social scientists over the years. Some have said that humans are just like other primates. While some others have mentioned that humans did not exactly descend from chimpanzees or gorillas‚ but it might be possible that humans and other primates have shared a common ancestor. It’s true that they share a lot of similarities but on the other hand they also have a lot of differences. The three

------------------------------------------------- What Makes Australia Unique? ------------------------------------------------- A long time ago‚ the continents got separated from each other gradually because of the Continent Drift. Then‚ Australia became the largest continent in Oceania. It has a lot of special properties and the most apparent one is the environment. Australia has very special landforms and the climates are quite different in other parts of Australia. The plants and animals are really unique as well due the particular

Water has many unique properties that make life possible on Earth. One property is cohesion. The cohesion property is properly defined as the binding of water molecules by hydrogen bonds. Water has this property as a result of the chemical bonding between water. Cohesion of the strong hydrogen bonds allows the water molecules to stick together‚ almost as a unit of one. A force exerted on one of the molecules will be exerted on all of the adjacent molecules as a result of cohesion. Cohesion‚ often

On killing a tree is not about the killing of a tree‚ but about the endless life in a tree. Paraphrase of the Poem: [1-9 lines] It takes a lot of time and strength to kill a tree because it grows slowly and rises out of the earth by absorbing years of sunlight air and water. So‚ it is not easy to kill a tree with a single stroke of a knife. [10-19 lines] The tree has deep roots which draws its sap from the earth. It gives rise to tiny twigs and miniature boughs. We hack and chop to kill a

specific heat is one of five properties of water that is important to life. Specific heat is defined as the heat necessary to raise one gram of water by one degree Celsius. Because water’s temperature does not change dramatically when absorbing or losing heat‚ water can absorb or release exceeding amounts of heat (by breaking and forming hydrogen bonds) without affecting living organisms in the water and at the same time helping terrestrial organisms outside the water live easier. For example‚ coastal

Continue of Properties of Life: in sexual reproduction‚ two parents contribute genetic information in the form of a gamete. The gametes fuse and an offspring is produced from the fertilized egg. The fourth property of all living organisms possess is that populations of organisms evolve over many generations. Adaptations are inherited characteristics that allow organisms to survive in a particular environment. The seahorse has evolved and adapted camouflage. Which property is NOT a property of all

Garlic biopesticides have the unique property of repelling and preventing the insects from feeding especially the sucking pests. The biopesticide is compatible with chemical insecticides and fertilizers. The garlic biopesticide not harmful to natural enemies‚ pollinators and other beneficials‚ are cheaper and compatible with other organics and chemicals. They can form an important IPM tool in sustainable and organic cultivated farming systems. (A.K.CHAKRAVARTHY) Garlic has been useful as a spice
