Vegetative Propagation Definition, Types, Methods, Advantages

Many plants can reproduce genetically identical offshoots or clones of themselves through asexual reproduction. These offshoots then become independent plants. This is known as vegetative reproduction or vegetative propagation....

Fragmentation Reproduction Definition, Examples, Advantages, Disadvantages

Students studying Biology would have come across the topic of asexual reproduction. Fragmentation is one of the most common forms of asexual reproduction. It is a form of cloning in which one organism is broken into smaller fragments. These fragments can be reassembled into fully grown organisms. Fragmentation is also known as splitting methods of

Budding Definition, Process, Advantages, Disadvantages

In many species reproduction is dependent upon two adults combining to form a new organism. In this case, both parents creates sexual cells (gametes) that join together to form an embryo , which then forms the new person (s). Although this type of reproduction is widespread in multicellular organisms but it is also the case

Cell membrane structures and functions

Cell membrane (also called"the plasma membrane (PM) or the cytoplasmic membrane and has been traditionally known as"the plasmalemma) is a membrane in the body which separates the inner part and exterior of cells. It also separates them from their external environment (the extracellular spaces) and shields cells from the elements.

Filtration Sterilization Types, Mechanism, Uses

Filtration is the most popular method to sterilize heat sensitive liquid and gases, without exposure to denaturing temperatures. Instead of killing microorganisms that cause contamination the process simply eliminates them. It is the process of choice to sterilize chemical solutions for antibiotics radioisotopes, toxic chemicals or vaccines, as well as carbohydrates, all of which are sensitive to heat.

Sucrose gradient centrifugation

Technique for the characterization and preparation of subcellular particles. A sucrose gradient is used to fill a centrifuge tube of the type swinging-bucket design. The bottom is the most dense, and the top the least dense. The solution is then layered with a suspension of the particles. Centrifugation separates particles in the gradient according their density. The centrifugation is...

RCF Centrifugation and RPM Centrifugation

When working with centrifuges you'll encounter two different measurement units that are called the Relative Centrifugal Force (RCF) and the number of revolutions per Minute (RPM). It is essential to be aware of the fact that they are both different.
