In earlier studies, some physical attributes of humans were considered Mendelian in nature, but further study suggested they are in fact not. These traits may involve more complex genetic models that usually include more than one gene. Examples are the color of the eyes and hair, and tongue rolling. Gene dominance plays a part in these traits, but information from other genes are also involved.

Plant morphology, also called phytomorphology, is the study of physical characteristics of plants. Plant morphology utilizes a wide number of various terms in describing organs and parts of plants which can be seen by the eye using a magnifying lens. Plant morphology terms are used in the identification and classification of plants. Morphology is comparative in nature as morphologists (or those who study morphology) study structures in different plants of the same species, drawing comparisons an...

What exactly is PCR and how does it work? PCR, also known as Polymerase Chain Reaction, is a method that many scientists use to replicate DNA. This is done in three steps. These steps are denaturing which is where the DNA double strand is heated and melted. The next step is annealing which is where primers and DNA polymerase attaches to the single strand DNA. The last step is elongation which is when the temperature is increased to optimal conditions for the DNA polymerase to begin synthesizing ...

Whether we observe the universe from a microscope or telescope, every scale of our existence fractals in self-similarity. Atomic structures of all shapes and sizes contain the same invisible, empty, energetic space. In fact, atoms are said to be 99% hollow and only ~1% physical. So, what does this really say about us (humans)?

Daydreaming occurs when your mind is ‘somewhere else,’ you may be in that special place between being awake and being asleep. You may be lying in your bed, relaxing in a chair, or just feeling bored at work. Daydreams occur from right brain stimulation. The right side of your brain is the part where your creativity comes from.

The Kamikaze attacks commenced as a desperate measure during World War II. However these attacks can take place in a modern war as well. The US navy has thus installed latest ship defense systems against such Kamikaze and low flying attacks. These will be tested in a war with Iran

We are familiar with watermelons with red flesh. But watermelons are more than that. There are varieties with amazing colors, taste, aroma, skin design, and size. Though it originated from Africa, it has since been cultivated extensively in many parts of the world including China, India and the USA. The watermelon rinds are normally eaten raw or used as ingredients for salads; but for some other cultures, they are stir-fried, stewed, pickled, or prepared into juice or wine.

The readers will perhaps gain new knowledge regarding the importance of bacteria in biology and how they can be benefitial to the population as a whole in developing an antibiotics against virus and other bacteria. This article might also change the perception or introduce the idea to common laypeople that germs and bacteria are different in terms of their use in science. This article shows that bacteria, are not the little thing that make people sick but they are the little thing that prevent o...

Charles Darwin, the father of evolutionary theory, is a famous scientist who his grandfather is Eramus Darwin. Eramus had a huge circumference in his belly that in his later years, he couldn't reach pass his own tummy to get to the food on the table so they cut a semi-circular hole was cut into his dining room tabl...

A summary of different experiments conducted by the great scientists of the 1900's. Each experiment continued to build on data which ultimately lead to the discovery what we find obvious today, that genes are composed of DNA. By revisiting these experiments, we learn the many factors that are included in lab work and exciting research that has shaped the field of genetics in the past years.

Prior to the invention of airplanes, one of the fastest and the most effective means of mass transportation are trains Freight and passenger trains were widely used worldwide to transport passengers and commodity goods. These trains can average nearly 2,000 meters in length especially freight trains in particular. Today, trains still play one of the most vital role in transporting commuters, raw materials and finished products. They are much faster, safer and longer. Here are some of the longest...

Acids and bases are part of your daily life. You used some acids and bases at home. To clean your bathrooms you use a muriatic acids. The bread you eat contains baking soda which is a base. Know what are the characteristics of acids and the characteristics of bases as well. Neutralization is a chemical property of acids and bases when they are mixed, thy react with each other. You can say they neutralized each other. Learn a simple experiments on how to identify whether a sample is a base...
