TYPES OF CLOSED CIRCULATORY SYSTEM


  • In all vertebrates, higher molluscas and annelids, the blood is circulated all over the body through a network of blood vessels.
  • In this type of circulation, blood flows within the blood vessels and does not come in direct contact with cells and body tissues.
  • Exchange of material between blood and body tissues is through an intermediate fluid celled lymph.
  • Blood flows with high pressure and contains respiratory pigments like haemoglobin for transportation of respiratory gases.
  • Close circulation is of two types- single and double circulation.

Single circulation

  • In single circulation, the blood passes through heart only once during each cycle. ex. Fishes
  • Deoxygenated blood is pumped from heart towards gills, where it undergoes oxygenation.
  • This oxygenated blood moves towards various body parts, gets deoxygenated and returns back to heart for next cycle.
  • The heart of Fish carries only deoxygenated blood, it also called 'Venous Heart'.


Double Circulation

  • In double circulation, blood passes through heart twice during each cycle.
  • It occurs in birds and mammals.
  • In these animals, heart pumps deoxygenated blood to lungs for oxygenation and it returns to heart as oxygenated blood.
  • This is 'Pulmonary Circulation'.
  • The oxygenated blood is pumped for the heart towards various body parts and returns back to the heart as deoxygenated blood.
  • This is 'Systemic Circulation'.
  • Human heart shows double circulation.

WATSON AND CRICKS MODEL OF DNA

biologicalinform.blogspot.com WATSON AND CRICKS MODEL OF DNA The double stranded helical structure of DNA was proposed for the first time by James Watson and Francis Crick in 1953. In Eukaryotic, DNA molecule is present in each chromosomes if nucleus. The two strands of DNA molecule are spirally twisted around each other as well as a central axis to form tight handed double helix. The coiling of two strand is plectonemic i.e. the two strands can’t be easily separated from each other. The backbone of strand is formed by alternately arranged Deoxyribose sugar and phosphate molecular which are joined together by Phosphodiester bonds . Each strand is long polypeptide chain composed of many basic units or monomers known as Deoxyribonucleotides, hence called polymer compounds. Each transverse step is made up of nitrogen bases which are purines and pyrimidines. Nitrogen bade is attached horizontally at carbon number one of Deoxyribose sugars. The nitrogen bases of two DN

Monohybrid cross Andmonohybrid ratio :- Def : A cross between two pure (homozygous) parents having a single pair of contrasting characters is used or studied is called as monohybrid cross, and ratio obtained from monohybrid cross  is called as monohybrid ratio. (Phenotypic ratio = 3:1 & Genotypic ratio = 1;2;1 ) This experiment involving 3 steps - In first step (I) - Mendel selected pure tall pea plant as a female parent and pure Dwarf pea plant as a male parent. He confirmed whether they are true breeding or not by selfing them for three generations. In step second (II) -      Mendel performed artificial cross between female and male parent which were Tall & Dwarf.      Mendel expecting progeny obtained from parent will be intermediate height or 50 % Tall &        50%  dwarf but he surprised and found all were Tall in F 1   generation (Tt).    He started thinking, where the dwarfness has gone? Why and how it got eliminated ? He  thinked,

BIOTECHNOLOGY: PROCESS AND APPLICATION

BIOTECHNOLOGY: - PROCESS AND APPLICATION Def.-“Biotechnology is a branch of biology which deals with the techniques of using live organisms, enzymes or biological processes to produce products and provides services for human welfare.” The new definition of modern biotechnology given by EFB( The European Federation of Biotechnology) Def-“Biotechnology is the integration of natural science and organisms, cells, parts thereof and molecular analogues for products and services.” “The science which deals with the synthesis of artificial genes, repair of gene, combination of genes from two organisms & manipulation of artificial genes for improvement of living organisms is called genetic engineering”. RECOMBINANT DNA TECHNOLOGY : The idea for recombinant DNA was first proposed by Peter Lobban, a graduate student of Prof. Dale Kaiser in the Biochemistry Department at Stanford University Medical School. The first publications describing the successful production and intracellul
