The changes in the nucleotide sequence at the DNA level or in any one of the base pairs is known as mutation, while the genetic variation is how one individual of a species variate from the other one, variation can be due to changes in the nucleotide sequence like insertions, deletions, any genetic rearrangements or any environmental factors. We all are aware of the DNA, RNA which are said as the genetic material and consist of the codes or bases A, C, G and T, and their combinations make the … [Read more...]
Difference Between Self-Pollination and Cross-Pollination
The process of transfers of pollen grains from anthers to the stigma of a flower, but when this process is between the flowers of the same plant than the term is called as self-pollination, while when the transfers are between the flowers of the different plant of same species is called as cross-pollination. Secondly, pure line progeny is obtained in the self-pollination. The target of every living organisms is to create their young ones and transfer their characters to them. Pollination is … [Read more...]
Difference Between Cyst and Tumor
The small outgrowth or pouch kind of lump found beneath the skin is known as the cyst, while a tumour is an abnormal growth or mass or swelling of tissues. Identifying lump or bump under the skin area is quite disturbing, but these are not always harmful. The two most common types of lumps are cyst and tumours. Though it is difficult to differentiate them, as these are found almost in same places of the body like one can have ovarian cysts as well as ovarian tumours. With the development … [Read more...]
Difference Between Flora and Fauna
Flora is the term used for studying the plant's life living in a particular area or region, whereas fauna refers to the study of animals life living in any geographical area. Secondly, all kinds of grasslands, trees, plants, comes under flora, on the contrary, all types of animals, birds, and insects fall under the category of fauna. Although biota is the term used for complete forms of life like fungi, bacteria, etc. Flora and Fauna are scientific words, in general, we use the term plants … [Read more...]
Difference Between Bacteria and Fungi
Bacteria and Fungi come under different categories; the former one is the prokaryotic cell while the latter one is Eukaryotic cells. Apart from this, there are many differences between them like bacteria need a host to live, and they can be autotrophs as well as heterotrophs, whereas fungi grow their own and are heterotrophs which depend on others for their food. Bacteria do not have nuclear membrane enclosing nucleus, while Fungi (eukaryotes) have well- defined nucleus surrounded by the nuclear … [Read more...]
Difference Between Covalent, Metallic and Ionic Bonds
Covalent bond occurs between the two non-metals, metallic bond occurs between two metals and the ionic bond occurs between the metal and the non-metal. Covalent bond involves the sharing of electrons, while metallic bonds have strong attractions and ionic bonds involve the transferring and accepting of electrons from the valence shell. The adhering property of an atom, in order to arrange themselves in a most stable pattern by filling their outermost electrons orbit. This association of atoms … [Read more...]
Difference Between First and Second Law of Thermodynamics
The First Law of the Thermodynamics is related to the conservation of energy, while the Second Law of Thermodynamics argue that some of the thermodynamics processes are impermissible and does not entirely follow the First Law of Thermodynamics. The word 'thermodynamics' is derived from the Greek words, where "Thermo" means heat and "dynamics" means power. So thermodynamics is the study of energy which exists in various forms like light, heat, electrical and chemical energy. Thermodynamics … [Read more...]
Difference Between Mixtures and Compounds
The mixture contains two or more substances mixed, but neither chemically as well as not in inexact quantity while compound includes two or more elements combined chemically and in a fixed ratio. For instance, Seawater, Crude oil, Mineral oils, Alloys (Brass, Bronze), etc., are some of the mixtures, Water (H2O), Hydrogen Peroxide (H2O2), Sodium Chloride (NaCl), Baking Soda (NaHCO3), etc. are the name of some compounds. As per the classical physics theory, anything that occupies space has mass … [Read more...]
Difference Between Smooth and Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum
The difference lies between the two is that the Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum is not bounded by the ribosomes and is known for storing the lipids and proteins. Meanwhile, the Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum is bounded by the ribosomes and store proteins. The another most essential component of the eukaryotic cell is the Endoplasmic Reticulum or ER. It occupies almost 10 percent of the total cell volume. ER is of two type smooth and rough. Though both share some common features too but differ in … [Read more...]
Difference Between Piles, Fissures and Fistula
Piles or Hemorrhoids are the swollen veins in the lower part of the anal canal or anus, these are painless. Fissures are very painful, as they are caused due to the tear or cut in the skin near the anus. The fistula is the small opening develops in the skin around the anus, this opening has pus inside it. Most people do not know the exact difference between the three, as they think that if they have certain kind of pain or bleeding in their anal part, it could pile, but few of them know that … [Read more...]
