Genetics is the branch of biology concerned with the study of the DNA of organisms, how their DNA manifests as genes, and how those genes are inherited by offspring. Genes are passed to offspring in both sexual and asexual reproduction, and over time natural selection can accumulate variations...
The duties and responsibilities of a geologist vary depending on their area of specialization, but some general responsibilities include: Conducting Fieldwork: Geologists spend a considerable amount of time in the field, conducting various activities such as: Mapping Geological Features: Geologists use va...
PD is just one representative of the movement disorders, which are a large group of hypokinetic and hyperkinetic conditions with different genesis, symptoms and progression. However, the majority of them share the functional principles of motor execution, their physiology undergoes similar neuro...
