Difference Between Codon and Anticodon

February 11, 2021 by Rachna C Leave a Comment

Codons can be said as the three-base sequence of nitrogenous bases present in a row on mRNA. These nitrogenous bases are Adenine, Guanine, Cytosine and Uracil (thymine is present in DNA). The complementary sequence of the codons triplets are known as anticodons. Secondly, one mRNA contains numerous codons, but one tRNA has only one anticodon, that code for an amino acid. So, the main aim of codon and anticodon is to produce the proteins and express genetic information. As we know that … [Read more...]

Difference Between Blood and Lymph

September 5, 2020 by Rachna C Leave a Comment

Blood is the type of connective tissue found in our body and plays a significant role in transporting various substances to different parts of the body. Lymph is the white colour fluid tissue, made up of white blood cells and lymphocytes and plays a significant role in carrying the white blood cells to and from the bones and lymph nodes. Secondly, Blood plays a leading role in carrying oxygen and carbon dioxide. At the same time, Lymph is a part of the body's immune system works in defence … [Read more...]

Difference Between Molecules and Compounds

August 18, 2020 by Rachna C Leave a Comment

When the chemical bonds unite any atoms (two or more) is known as a molecule. But such type of molecules that consist of different atoms (two or more) of different chemical elements are known as compounds. However, it is a fact that all compounds are molecules, but all molecules are not compounds. So, we can say that any combination of atoms is a molecule, but when the combination of atoms is from different elements, it is known as the compound. Let's take an example to understand in a better … [Read more...]

Difference Between mRNA, tRNA and rRNA

May 1, 2020 by Rachna C Leave a Comment

mRNA has a linear structure having uracil base instead of thymine, and its secondary structure could be hairpin, stem-loop, etc. ; while tRNA has Cloverleaf structure that carries three specific stem-loops; and rRNA has much complex structure with numerous folds and loops. mRNA acts as the messenger of DNA; tRNA carries amino acids during protein synthesis; rRNA is the protein producer of the cell. These three RNA plays a vital role in the process of transcription and further in protein … [Read more...]

Difference Between Apoptosis and Necrosis

October 17, 2019 by Rachna C Leave a Comment

The natural process which leads to the cell death is called as apoptosis, but when the cell death happens due to attack certain external factors like bacteria, virus or fungus, or any toxicity, injury, leads to necrosis. Apoptosis is the self-controlled event that occurs under favourable physiological conditions and the cell itself actively participate in the process. During necrosis, the cell is unable to maintain the homeostasis, which leads to the inflow of water and extracellular ions in … [Read more...]

Difference Between Breathing and Respiration

April 9, 2019 by Rachna C 1 Comment

Breathing is the biophysical process which involves the inhaling and exhaling of air through lungs, whereas respiration is the biochemical process which involves in generating the energy by breaking down the glucose which is further used by cells in various function. Breathing is distinct from respiration in many ways, though both are essential for living organisms. As discussed above the mechanism of breathing is associated with the respiratory organs like the nose, lungs, etc., while … [Read more...]

Difference Between Point and Frameshift Mutations

December 30, 2018 by Rachna C Leave a Comment

The changes in the single base or nucleotide in the nucleotide sequence and thus changing its complementary base also it is called as point mutations, while when there are insertions or deletions of more than one base pair in the nucleotide sequence it is known as frameshift mutations. Mutations can be defined as any kind of change in the nucleotide sequence or genetic code, which altering the gene structure as well as the amino acids and the proteins too. These mutations occur in the DNA … [Read more...]

Difference Between Mutation and Variation

September 21, 2018 by Rachna C Leave a Comment

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 another, 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 Covalent, Metallic and Ionic Bonds

July 25, 2018 by Rachna C 2 Comments

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 Cation and Anion

April 11, 2018 by Rachna C Leave a Comment

The ion that has the positive charge is called a cation, while the ion which has the negative charge on it is called as an anion. Secondly, the cation which is positively charged always gets attracted to the cathode (negative electrode), and the anion which is negatively charged get attract towards the anode (positive electrode). An atom or groups of atoms in which the number of protons and electrons are unequal, which gives them either the positive charge or negative charge such atoms are … [Read more...]
