Digestion The organs of the gastrointestinal system directly involved with digestion are the mouth, stomach, small intestine and large intestine. Each organ produces different enzymes which are activated or deactivated by changes in the acidity level of the food-fluid mixture as it moves through through the tract. Salivary glands in...
There has been much debate throughout modern biology about the differences between human and animal genetics. Some differentiate between the concept of the type of cognitive and consciousness development that humans have versus animals, while others look plainly at how effective they are in terms of laboratory studies. The skill...

The biochemical process of pheromone component degradation from body and antenna is cardinal for olfaction by permeating sensitivity to incoming pheromones. Substrate-specific enzymes synthesized by moths are responsible for degradation of pheromone components in the body. Studies conducted using pheromone analogues and 3H-labeled pheromones coupled with the application of radioactive...
IntroductionGenetic exchange plays the key role of enhancing evolution amongst bacteria species. Precisely, accumulated data on nucleotide sequences from various bacterial genera have shown the impacts of recombinations on nucleotide sequences. In regards to the previously mentioned views, a detailed review of mutations and recombinations, and tools used in tracking changes...
