(Credit: Science Primer of the National Center for Biotechnology Information, the image in the public domain) Cells may be classified into two major types: prokaryotic cells (e.g. bacterial cells) and eukaryotic cells (e.g. plant or animal cells). The main difference between the two is a ...
You can think of genes as CD or memory stick that is used to carry data or music from one computer to another. In the similar fashion, genes carry genetic codes that are responsible for the unique physical characteristics of an animal or a plant. Nucleus works as the control centre of th...
There are many organelles that are common across all eukaryotic cells, such as mitochondria, but there are others that are specific to either animal or plant cells.Answer and Explanation: Animal cells have two main organelles that plant cells do not. The centrosome is the origin of spindle fibe...
Since the publication of "The Selfish Gene," most biologists agree that Dawkins' ideas explain a great deal about natural selection, but they don't answer everything. One of the main sticking points is altruism. Why do people (and many animal species) do good things for others, even when...
Animal cells lackplastidsand cell walls, which are abundant in plant cells,algae, and certainfungi. Animal cells have centrosomes that consist of two centrioles. It is involved in the formation of the mitotic spindle, assembly ofmicrotubules, and regulation of cell cycle progression. s considered...

The image depicts a mixotrophic unicellular protist with chloroplasts and a motility structure called a flagellum (singular) or flagella (plural). It has a nucleus and organelles like both plant and animal cells. What Are They Made Of?
This is commonly known as a DNA bath and serves to prepare the cells for electroporation. Here, the temperature range and period of incubation is dependent on the type of plant cells as well as the type of foreign DNA being introduced into these cells. ...
It involves the preparation and analysis of plant and animal tissues. A microscope is used to view the structure of the tissues.What is Tissue? A cell is the basic unit of life. Various specialized cells in a multicellular organism can be grouped to perform the same function, thus forming ...
