Modification of plant nutritional content like amino acid, lipid, vitamin, and iron. The use of genetic engineering techniques has allowed researchers to open up and develop plants with improved nutritional quality. For example, rice is extremely low in vitamin A.…
Insect resistant plants The process of genetic engineering makes the possibility of intrinsically resistant to insects in the development of crops. This can be produced by an approach involving a gene by a subspecies of bacterium Bacillus thuringiensis which produces insecticidal protoxin.…
The plants carry additional, stably integrated, and expressed, foreign genes from trans-species. The whole process involves the introduction, integration, and expression of foreign genes within the host by the process called genetic transformation. However, the combination of rDNA technology, certain…
Eliminates confusion between nationalities that may have different common names for organisms by assigning them a universal name that acts as a code.
Eliminates confusion between nationalities that may have different common names for organisms by assigning them a universal name that acts as a code.
Common names, in contrast to scientific names, are not exclusive. Therefore, using common names can cause misunderstandings regarding the animal being referred to and its relationships to other animals. Example: Badgers Although they are all called badgers and they are…
Phylogenetic and evolutionary research has helped to connect the relationship of extinct animals with the surviving organisms, and its nomenclature is similar to the other organisms. Some of the lists of the scientific names of extinct animals are as follows:…
The system of naming the animals is similar to that of the plant’s naming system. During the nomenclature of the animals, the genus comes first and then is followed by the species. Some of the scientific names of animals are…
The name of the pants at the end generally ends with the plural adjective which in Latin is “aceae”. The adjective used generally describes the genus or the family characteristics to which the particular plant belongs. Some of the Scientific…
In hand-written texts, it can be underlined instead, however when using a Word processor, there is no justification for not italicizing. Example: Bos taurus, not Bos taurus. Example: Antibiotic resistance observed in Escherchia coli. Example: Juniperus virginiana, not Juniperus Virginia. The abbreviation “spp.” is similarly…
