The process of mono- and di- hybrid crosses is a main example of how each species can express their phenotypic characteristics. For these evaluations to be accurately tested for, the model organism that is used is Drosophila melanogaster. This model organism has a quick lifecycle…

Fertilisers are the chemical products that human created with the help of ammonia so the plants can grow faster and be bigger. There are different types of fertilisers, the Complete inorganic fertilisers, and the Special purpose fertiliser. The complete inorganic fertilisers contain all three major…
In today’s world, there are many technologies that gives us the opportunity to explore various aspects of our world. Factors such as viewing textbooks online or even submitting your assignments but more importantly giving us the ‘internet’, which allows us to make our daily day…
Since the structure of DNA was determined in the 1950s, scientists have continued to make great advancements in establishing how the “building blocks of life” are intertwined. In 2003, the Human Genome Project was completed. At the time, the cost for the first individual to…
In this study a genome wide (GW) trans ethnic meta-analysis was conducted of predominately regular type coffee consumption on 91,462 coffee consumers of European ancestry with single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and followed up in 13 studies of European coffee consumers and 7 studies of African…
All living organisms on earth are made of cells, and there are two types of cell in the world. They are prokaryotic cells[fig.1] and eukaryotic cells[fig.2] ‘Prokaryotes were the only form of life on earth for millions of years until more complicated eukaryotic cells came…
The control of movement within cells and organisms is a vital aspect for survival amongst beings. Without the control of these movements crucial processes such as photosynthesis and DNA replication would not be able to occur thus disabling organisms to survive and breed. Over time…
For organisms to be able to adapt in this ever-changing world, one must evolve. Evolution, however, is not as simple as it seems, it is a battle between species, species battle it out and the species more willing to change wins, and it looks like…
The nineteenth century author, Charles Dickens wrote of Tuberculosis that it is, “a disease which medicine never cured, wealth warded off, or poverty could boast exemption from – which sometimes moves in giant strides, and sometimes at a tardy sluggish pace, but, slow or quick,…

TREAT-NMD is a world renowned infrastructure for patients, biochemical industry, clinicians and researchers. It provides the necessary information in the creation and development of therapies, while considering standardised care guidelines, expanding collaboration if needed due to the expansive international scale of TREAT-NMD, developing improved patient…
In “Tastes Like Chicken,” Jacob Bunge talks about the emerging of protein of the masses on breeding chicken. Jacob Bunge thinks that the chicken is going to be the “protein of the masses,” because to start off, there is suppose to be 2.4 billion additional…
It’s simply known as typhoid, it is a bacterial infection due to a specific type of Salmonella particularly, Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica serovar Typhi growing in the intestines and blood. Typhoid can be spread by eating or drinking food or water contaminated with the faeces of an infected person. The risk factors include poor sanitation and poor…
Zika virus belongs to the genus Flavivirus, a mosquito borne virus that is close related to arthropod borne viruses (arboviruses) such as dengue virus and West Nile virus. It was originated in Unganda through monkeys in 1997 and later discovered that it can affect human…
Since electric power, based on fossil fuels, once considered inevitable, pollutes our environment and destroys valuable natural resources, scientists are looking for alternative, clean, natural resources. The answer is right in their back yard. The energy produced from natural sources has been around for hundreds…
