The Cori cycle is an important metabolic process that helps our bodies produce the additional amount of energy required by the muscles to perform grueling activity. This BiologyWise post provides a brief explanation about the Cori cycle.
Read moreThe process of spermatogenesis, i.e., the formation of sperms, is an essential part of reproduction in humans and all kinds of animals. In this article, we will learn about where and when spermatogenesis occurs, and what are the stages that the cells need to go through to complete the process.
Read moreCalvin Bridges and Thomas Hunt Morgan discovered the process of nondisjunction in dividing cells in the year 1910. This is one of the most common forms of chromosomal aberration that occurs in humans. This BiologyWise post explains what is nondisjunction, how does it occur, and some of the causes and effects of this condition.
Read moreTight junctions are a type of cell junctions that play a role in cell adhesion and permeability of paracellular barrier. This BiologyWise post elaborates on where these junctions are found, their structure as well as their function.
Read moreMeiosis is required in the maintenance of chromosome number as well as bring about an increase in genetic diversity. In this BiologyWise post, we explain the process of crossing over and why is it important.
Read moreApart from a healthy habitat, the survival of a species depends on the genetic diversity among its members. BiologyWise defines the concept of a ‘gene pool’, and gives its examples to shed more light on this concept.
Read moreCells of all living organisms need NADH and FADH2 (naturally occurring coenzymes) for energy production. During cellular respiration, the cells use these coenzymes to turn fuel from food into energy. This BiologyWise post elaborates more on the function of NADH and FADH2.
Read moreRotifers are named for their characteristic ring of hair-like structures. Let us learn more about these primitive creatures, using their classification and facts, through this BiologyWise post.
Read moreEmergent properties can be described as those properties that emerge in a complex system that are different from those of the components that make that system. BiologyWise explains the emergent properties that exist in biology with the help of some examples.
