16 Differences Between Asexual and Sexual Reproduction

September 22, 2020 by Anupama Sapkota

Asexual Reproduction Definition Asexual reproduction is a mode of reproduction that occurs without the fusion of gametes and doesn’t involve the exchange of genetic information, resulting in offsprings identical to their parents. Asexual reproduction in living beings is characterized by the absence of male and female gametes and the lack of change in the number of chromosomes in the offspring. …

10 Differences Between Independent and Dependent variables

September 18, 2020 by Anupama Sapkota

Independent Variables The Independent variable is a type of variable used in experimental sciences, statistical modeling, and mathematical modeling which doesn’t depend on any other variables in the scope of the experiment. An independent variable can be manipulated in an experiment, which in turn affects the changes in the dependent variables. Mostly in mathematical equations, independent variables are denoted by …

18 Differences Between Xylem and Phloem (Xylem vs Phloem)

Xylem Definition Xylem is a vascular tissue that transports water and dissolved minerals absorbed from the roots to the rest of the plant. The term xylem is derived from the Greek word ‘xylon’ which means wood as the best-known xylem tissues are found …

16 Differences Between Voluntary and Involuntary Muscles

September 16, 2020 by Anupama Sapkota

Voluntary muscles definition Voluntary muscles are the muscles that can be moved by the free will of the person and are almost always associated with the skeleton system. These muscles are attached to the bones by means of tendons, and they are responsible for all kinds of movements in vertebrates. Voluntary muscles account for about 40% of the total weight …

17 Differences Between Vascular and Non-vascular plants

September 13, 2020 by Anupama Sapkota

Vascular Plants Definition Vascular plants, also known as tracheophytes, are plants found on land that have lignified tissues for conducting water and minerals throughout the body of the plant. These lignified tissues are also called vascular tissue and consist of water-conducting xylem tissue and food-conducting phloem tissue. Vascular tissue forms a central column, also called stele, through the plant axis …

15 Differences Between Transcription and Translation

September 13, 2020September 11, 2020 by Anupama Sapkota

Transcription Definition Transcription is the process where the genetic information on a DNA strand is transferred into an RNA strand by a series of polymerization reactions catalyzed by enzymes called DNA-dependent RNA polymerases. This is the first step of gene expression where the information is passed on from one structure to another. During transcription, RNA molecules are initiated, elongated, and …

17 Differences Between Taproot and Fibrous root (Taproot vs Fibrous root)

September 9, 2020 by Anupama Sapkota

Taproot Definition Taproot is one of the two essential root systems where the primary root gives out branches of secondary and tertiary roots growing downwards as the primary root tapers towards the end. The Taproot system is the root system found in most dicotyledonous plants and is characterized by the presence of a primary or dominant root. The radicle of …

18 Differences Between Spermatogenesis and Oogenesis

September 9, 2020 by Anupama Sapkota

Spermatogenesis Definition Spermatogenesis is the process of formation of mature sperm cells through a series of mitotic and meiotic divisions along with metamorphic changes in the immature sperm cell. It is the male version of gametogenesis which results in the formation of mature male gametes. Spermatogenesis requires optimal conditions to occur and is essential for sexual reproduction. The complete process …

9 Differences between Solute and Solvent (Solute vs Solvent)

September 6, 2020 by Anupama Sapkota

Solute Definition A solute is a substance that is added to a solvent to form a solution. The solute can exist in all three forms of matter as solid, liquid, or gas. In a homogenous mixture, the solute completely dissolves in another substance, and the solute is uniformly distributed throughout the solution. In a heterogeneous mixture, the solute is not …

Saturated fatty acids definition Saturated fatty acids are the simplest form of fats that are unbranched linear chains of CH2 groups linked together by carbon-carbon single bonds with a terminal carboxylic acid. The term ‘saturated’ is used to indicate that the maximum number of hydrogen atoms are bonded to …
