Definition: X-linked genes are genes that are found on the X chromosome, which is one of two sex chromosomes in humans. Males and females both carry the X chromosome, but males have only one, whilst females have two. Because males and females have different numbers of X chromosomes, there are disparities in the expression of…

Immune Response in Plants
Plants, just like animals, have a sophisticated immune system that protects them from pathogens. However, the plant immune response differs from that of animals, as it relies on physical and chemical barriers, as well as specific responses triggered by pathogen detection. The immune response in plants can be classified into basal defense, which is the…

Avery, Maclyn McCarty’s Experiment
Introduction: Avery, Maclyn McCarty’s experiment is a landmark study in the field of molecular biology. It was conducted to determine the nature of the genetic material of bacteria and how it could be transformed. The experiment was carried out in 1944 and was considered a major breakthrough in the understanding of genetic information. Objective: The…
