Astrobiology

  The study of the origins, evolution, distribution and future of life in the universe is known as astrobiology .  Astrobiology, previously known as exobiology, is a multidisciplinary science that investigates the origins, early evolution, distribution, and future of life in the universe. Astrobiology is the study of whether or not alien life exists, and if so, how we can detect it .  This interdisciplinary field necessitates a thorough knowledge of biological, planetary, and cosmic events. The quest for habitable environments in our Solar System and on planets orbiting other stars, as well as the search for evidence of primordial chemistry or life, is all part of astrobiology. Searching for evidence of prebiotic chemistry or life on Solar System worlds such as Mars, Jupiter's moon Europa, and Saturn's moon Titan; and studying the origins, early evolution, and assortment of life on Earth.  Astrobiology combines molecular biology, biophysics, biochemistry, chemistry, ...

Heredity and Evolution

  Heredity is the transfer of biological characters from one generation to another via genes in simple words transfer of characteristics from parents to offspring is heredity. Johann Gregor Mendel is the pioneer of modern genetics.  Because of Hugo de Vries mutational theory, the cause of the abrupt alterations was discovered in 1901.  Living organisms, according to de Vries' mutation theory, can generate alterations to their DNA that drastically alter the organism. These alterations are handed down from generation to generation, resulting in the emergence of new species. To know the reasons behind the same characteristics and facial features check out my blog: https://bustlingmindd.blogspot.com/2021/05/dna.html When a new species evolves, it becomes stable and ceases to change.   The fact that both the father and the mother contribute nearly equal amounts of genetic material to the kid determines the rules for the inheritance of such qualities in humans. This indica...

Brain(Structure, Function, Parts and disorders)

  The brain is a three-pound organ that regulates all bodily processes, analyses information from the outside world, and embodies the mind and soul's essence. The brain controls many things, including intelligence, creativity, emotion, and memory. The brain of an adult human weighs about 1300-1400 grams and consists of approximately 100 billion neurons.  The cerebrum, cerebellum, and brainstem are the parts of the brain that are protected within the skull. The forebrain, midbrain, and hindbrain are the three main units that make up the brain. The top section of the spinal cord, the brain stem, and a wrinkled ball of tissue called the cerebellum make up the hindbrain. 1. Cerebrum : This is the largest part of our brain and consists of two cerebral hemispheres. The cerebrum is split into two hemispheres: left and right. The corpus callosum nerve fibers link the two sides. These hemispheres are joined with each other with the help of tough fibers. 2.  Cerebellum:  ...

RNA

Ribonucleic acid (RNA) is a vital biological macromolecule found in all living organisms. RNA is the second important nucleic acid. RNA is a complicated, high-molecular-weight molecule. Ribonucleic acid is a polymeric molecule that plays important functions in gene coding, decoding, regulation, and expression. It is a single-stranded structure containing sugar named Ribose sugar . And the first important nucleic acid is DNA. And to know some interesting facts about DNA check this blog out. https://bustlingmindd.blogspot.com/2021/05/dna.html Structure of RNA:  The principal role of RNA is to convert the information present in DNA into proteins.  RNA is also involved in a variety of biological activities, including cell division, differentiation, and growth, as well as cell aging and death. Ribonucleic acid, it's slightly different, RNA is what they call it It has a protein-making permit. DNA has two strands  RNA has one, The RNA strand comes from DNA making it the center ...

Black Fungus

  We all know that the whole world is fighting this pandemic. I would prefer to take proper care, precautions and stay home. We all are aware of the fungal infections which are spreading expeditiously (white fungus, black fungus, yellow fungus). So today let's find out what actually is a Black fungus. What is black fungus? Black fungus is also called mucormycosis . There are 4 Invasive Fungal Infections togetherly known as IFI. Mucormycosis, Aspergillosis, Candidiosis, and Cryptococcosis are groups of four Invasive Fungal Infections. This fungal infection is seen as coinfection or opportunistic infection. Mucormycosis does not happen to a normal healthy person. It happens to people who have health-related problems or who have medicines that lower the body's ability to fight germs and sickness.  People with weak immune systems should stay safe and enhance their immunity systems. Mucormycosis is one of the groups of fungi called mucormycetes. This group of fungi is mainly found ...

COVID-19

  What is coronavirus? A small virus has disturbed our lives.  Coronavirus is a family of viruses that cause illnesses such as the common cold, severe acute respiratory syndrome(SARS), and the Middle East respiratory syndrome(MERS). How does coronavirus spread? As we all know coronavirus scatters when we come in contact with an infected person and thus coronavirus enters our body. As an infected person talks or snizzes, the water droplets with the help of air scatters, and as our body comes in contact with those particles, they enter our body, and sometimes all of a sudden we can start to examine the symptoms. Therefore, it is instructed by our government to maintain social distancing. These droplets of a variety of sizes are captured in a turbulent gas cloud and with the help of this, they can travel to 26 feet. Structure of coronavirus: Coronavirus is covered by some spike kind of thing called spike protein  which is the most harmful and dangerous part of coronavirus. T...

DNA

  Have anybody compared your appearance with your mom or dad? Why do they say so? Let's learn and try to find out some interesting facts behind this. DNA (Deoxyribonucleic acid)is the hereditary material that is present in a unicellular organism to a complex organism such as a human being and it carries the genetic instruction in all living beings.  Characters from parents are passed to offspring with the help of DNA and thus everyone says that you look like your father and mother. In scientific language, we all inherit half of our DNA instructions from our mom and half from our dad. Interesting fact: Carls berg saw DNA for the first time and then Watson and Crick gave the double helix model. Adenine forms a hydrogen bond with thymine and guanine forms a triple hydrogen bond with cytosine. Structure : It can be thought that DNA looks like a twisted ladder. It is described as a double-helix. Chromosome helps to keep DNA stable at the time of cell replication. The double helix...
