Palaeontology: The study of fossils is known as Palaeontology. Father of palaeontology is Leonardo da Vinci. Fossils found in the rock support organic evolution. Rocks are formed by sedimentation and a cross section of earth crust indicates the arrangement of sediments of different ages of different life forms which probably died during the formation of […]

Many scientists worked and gave their results in search of DNA is a genetic material. The final proof for DNA as the genetic material came from the experiment of Alfred Hershey and Martha Chase (1952), who worked with bacteriophage. Bacteriophage are the viruses that infect bacteria and they have a protein coat and DNA. Experiment:

Many scientists contributed to prove that DNA is a genetic material. Fredrick Griffith was the first scientist in this race and he had given the transformation principle in bacteria. Fredrick Griffith (1928) conducted a series of experiments with Streptococcus pneumoniae, the bacterium causing pneumonia. He observed two strain of this bacteria: Experiment: He concluded that

Types of Carbohydrates: Carbohydrates are usually divided into the following classes: Monosaccharide: Monosaccharides are the simplest carbohydrates and the building blocks of the more Complex carbohydrates. Sugar containing 3-6 carbons atoms are known as monosaccharides. They may exist in a open chain (mostly from 3 to 5 carbon) or in a ring chain configuration (more

Ribonucleic acid was the first genetic material. The 2′-OH of nucleotide is a reactive group that makes RNA catalytic. It is evident that essential life processes such as metabolism, translation, splicing, etc. have evolved around RNA even before DNA has evolved as a genetic material. Structure of Ribonucleotide chain: In RNA also each nucleotide has
