The Story Of Our Genes: Epigenetics

INTRODUCTION  During the period of twentieth century,the field of biology was dominated by the simple and powerful idea:our genes determine who we are. It is believed that at the time of our birth—eye color,height,disease risk and even some aspects of our behavior are hardwired into our DNA. The crucial role of genetics in shaping our life cannot be denied but modern biology has revealed a far more dynamic picture. The fascinating field of epigenetics which shows how our genes are not fixed instructions but flexible scripts that respond to our environment, lifestyle and experiences. The understanding of scientists about human development,disease, health and inheritance is greatly influenced by epigenetics. This field has explained why identical twins become different over a period of time,how stress can leave biological scars and how diet and environment can influence not only our lives but also those of future generations.  Sup WHAT IS EPIGENETICS ? ...

Biological Processes are The Hidden Symphony of Life

INTRODUCTION  As we know,that life is a result of continuous biological processes taking place inside the body of an individual which work together with extraordinary precision, for example: the beating of our heart and the blinking of an eye. Most of the processes happen silently and voluntarily and we don't even notice them. If we notice, these processes are the very reason of our breathing,movement, thinking and growing. In this blog post, we will explore some of the most important biological processes which sustain our life—from the tiniest molecular interactions to the grand scale of organ systems and all of them work in perfect harmony. THE FACTORY OF ENERGY:CELLULAR RESPIRATION  Each and every living cell present in the body requires energy to function in an appropriate manner. The process by which cells convert the glucose and oxygen in the form of energy known as ATP(Adenosine Triphosphate) is called cellular respiration. ...
