Difference Between Incomplete Dominance and Co-Dominance

Last updated on August 17, 2017 by Divanshi G

When one allele for a specific trait does not completely dominate over the other allele, and therefore the phenotype produced is the complete mixture of both dominant and recessive allele is known as Incomplete Dominance. While in Co-Dominance both the allele for a specific trait are equally expressed. The resultant phenotype will express both the character equally of both participating alleles. As stated by Gregor Mendel, traits are inherited by the transfer of genes from parents to their … [Read more...]

Difference Between Saturated and Unsaturated Fatty Acids

Last updated on March 26, 2022 by Divanshi G

The fatty acids are of two prime types: saturated and unsaturated. A healthy body requires both of them for the optimal functioning of the body. There are certain aspects like their structure, sources, state etc., that make them totally different from each other. For instance, all the carbon atoms of saturated fatty acids are linked together only with a single bond. In contrast, one or more than one double bonds are present in unsaturated fatty acids. Nutritionists' recommendation for … [Read more...]

Difference Between Benign (non-cancerous) and Malignant (cancerous) Tumors

Last updated on August 3, 2017 by Divanshi G

The first thing when the patient is diagnosed with cancer is to detect whether it is a Benign or Malignant. A benign tumor is a stage when the cells show normal growth, but the production of the cell is higher giving rise to the abnormal lump (compact mass). In the case of Malignant tumor the cell shows abnormal growth, they overgrew in numbers uncontrollably, produces lumps and result in the cancerous cell. Secondly, the cells in benign tumor do not spread to other parts of the body from … [Read more...]

Difference Between Biodegradable and Non-Biodegradable Substances

Last updated on October 10, 2020 by Divanshi G

Biodegradable substances are those that degrades or break down naturally. Non-biodegradable substances are those that do not degrade easily. These terms itself defines the ability of the substances which are degradable or not. Materials like plants, animals, their waste, paper, fruits, flowers, vegetables fall under biodegradable substances, on the other hand, rubber, plastic, chemicals, paint plastic falls under the category of the non-biodegradable items. The environment in which we live is … [Read more...]

Difference Between Xylem and Phloem

Last updated on February 2, 2022 by Divanshi G

Both the xylem and phloem are complex permanent tissues. But they perform different roles in plants. The xylem facilitates the transportation of water from roots to the other part of the plant. Whereas the phloem aids the translocation of photosynthesized food material from the source to the other part. The xylem flow is unidirectional and occurs only from roots to the upper plant body. In contrast, the phloem carries the food material in a bidirectional manner from up to down and vice versa. … [Read more...]

Difference Between Cilia and Flagella

Last updated on February 6, 2018 by Divanshi G

Cilia are short, hair-like structure, present in large numbers in a cell, while flagella are long, hair-like complex structure and are few per cell. Cilia and flagella are hair-like appendages, extending through the surface of the living cell, they differ in their mode of beating, size, and number. Cilia and flagella are the locomotory structure, which is the extension of the plasma membrane of the cell. Besides the locomotion, they also help in other processes like respiration, excretion, … [Read more...]

Difference Between Asthma and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)

Last updated on September 14, 2017 by Divanshi G

The respiratory disease which is diagnosed during childhood, resulting in shortness of breathing, dryness of a cough, chest tightening is called asthma. On the other hand, COPD also known as Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease is also one of the respiratory disease, which occurs after the age of 4o, and the condition gets progressively worse with age. The cell's of our body need oxygen to work and grow, and this oxygen is taken by the lungs through the simple process of breathing. Usually, … [Read more...]

Difference Between Primary Metabolites and Secondary Metabolites

Last updated on April 13, 2022 by Divanshi G

Metabolism involves a whole set of biochemical reactions constantly occurring inside a living body to keep it alive and active. The metabolites are the intermediate compounds or end products generated as a result of these metabolic transformations. We can categorise the metabolites in two parts based on their origin and function- Primary and Secondary metabolites. The primary metabolites directly influence the vital process like growth, development and reproduction of any organism. In … [Read more...]

Difference Between Primary Succession and Secondary Succession

Last updated on September 14, 2017 by Divanshi G

Primary Succession can be defined as the process of growth in an area that was previously uninhabited, barren, unoccupied and there was no initial vegetation. On the other hand, Secondary Succession can be defined as the growth of the community in such area which was previously occupied, inhabited and that has primary vegetation but got disturbed or damaged due to some external or internal factors. The example of Primary Succession is the newly formed bare rock, desert, ponds, etc., while the … [Read more...]

Difference Between Nervous System and Endocrine System

Last updated on September 14, 2017 by Divanshi G

The significant difference between these two is that the nervous system uses electrical signals or impulses to send the signals through neurons, while the Endocrine system uses hormones acting as the chemical messenger to send signals to the target cell through the blood stream in the body. However, both are the regulatory system allows the communication between the tissue, organs, and cells. These systems have the responsibility to control and coordinate the signals given to the body, … [Read more...]
