Mutation
 Mutation is a permanent change of the nucleotide sequence of the human genome elements.
 Mutations result from damage to DNA which is not repaired or to RNA genomes (typically caused
by radiation or chemical mutagens), errors in the process of replication, or from the insertion or
deletion of segments of DNA by mobile genetic elements. 
 Mutations may or may not produce discernible changes in the observable characteristics
(phenotype) of an organism.
 Mutations play a part in both normal and abnormal biological processes including:
 evolution, cancer, and the development of the immune system, including junctional diversity.
 Mutation can result in several different types of change in sequences.
 Mutations in genes can either have no effect, alter the product of a gene, or prevent the gene
from functioning properly or completely.

Soils of India (Geography Project)

è Introduction Soil is the mixture of minerals, organic matter, gases, liquids and a myriad of organisms that can support plant life. It is a natural body that exists as part of the pedosphere and it performs four important functions: it is a medium for plant growth; it is a means of water storage, supply and purification; it is a modifier of the atmosphere; and it is a habitat for organisms that take part in decomposition and creation of a habitat for other organisms .Soil is considered the "skin of the earth" with interfaces between the lithosphere, hydrosphere, atmosphere, and biosphere. Soil consists of a solid phase (minerals and organic matter) as well as a porous phase that holds gases and water. Accordingly, soils are often treated as a three-state system .Soil is the end product of the influence of the climate, relief (elevation, orientation, and slope of terrain), biotic activities (or...

KARYOTYPE

 A karyotype refers to a full set of chromosomes from an individual arranged according to length, position of centromere, banding pattern.  Karyotype is written as total number of chromosomes followed by sex chromosomes  Normal male karyotype: 46,XY, normal female karyotype: 46,XX  Chromosomes are classified into 7 groups and pasted accordingly- Group A- 1, 2, 3; group B- 4, 5; group C- 6-12, X; group D- 13, 14, 15; group E- 16, 17, 18; group F- 19, 20; group G- 21, 22, Y
