Key Difference – Heterosis vs Inbreeding Depression Breeding is a process which is used to create or produce offspring with desired phenotypes. Plant breeding is a common practice to develop new varieties and cultivar with beneficial characteristics. Inbreeding and outbreeding are two common breeding techniques employed by breeders. Inbreeding is the process of mating […]
Key Difference – Inbreeding vs Outbreeding Breeding is a sexual reproductive method performed to produce offspring with desired or beneficial characteristics over generations. Desired individuals are selected and artificially crossed to make progenies. There are different types of breeding techniques. Inbreeding and outbreeding are two types. The key difference between inbreeding and outbreeding is […]
Key Difference – Monohybrid vs Dihybrid Crosses Offsprings genetically acquire traits from their parents. This is described as inheritance. Crossing or breeding is the process of deliberately breeding two organisms to find out how characteristics are passed from one generation to the next generation. This is popular among plant species and known as plant […]
Key Difference – X vs Y Chromosomes The human genome has 46 chromosomes, arranged in 23 pairs. There are two sex chromosomes (one pair) among them known as X and Y chromosome. These two chromosomes are designated as gender determination chromosomes. Every man has X and Y chromosome and Y chromosome decides the male […]
Key Difference – Chromosomal Aberration vs Gene Mutation Chromosomes are definite structures made up of long DNA strands. In a cell, there are 46 chromosomes in 23 pairs. A chromosome contains thousands of genes. Gene is a specific region of a chromosome or specific DNA fragment which bears a genetic code to synthesize a […]
Key Difference – Nondisjunction in Meiosis 1 vs 2 Cell division is a vital process in multicellular organisms as well as in unicellular organisms. There are two major cell division processes known as mitosis and meiosis. Genetically identical diploid cells are produced by mitosis and gametes (haploid) with half chromosome sets are produced by […]
Key Difference – Apomixis vs Polyembryony Flowering plants produce seeds to sustain their generations. Seeds are produced as a result of sexual reproduction in most plants. However, in certain plants, seeds are formed without fertilization of egg cells. This process is known as apomixis. Apomixis is defined as the asexual formation of seeds from […]
Key Difference – Monosomy vs Trisomy Chromosomal nondisjunction causes abnormal chromosome numbers in daughter cells. It can occur during cell division in mitosis and meiosis. As a result of nondisjunction in meiosis, aneuploid individuals are developed after the fertilization. Aneuploidy is a mutation in which chromosomal number is abnormal. A normal diploid cell (2n) […]
Key Difference – YAC vs M13 Phage Vector DNA cloning is an important process which enables the propagation of important DNA fragments of organisms. It requires joining of specific DNA with vector DNA to create recombinant DNA which transforms into the host organism. A vector is a DNA molecule which behaves as a vehicle to carry foreign […]
Key Difference – Vertical vs Horizontal Gene Transfer Gene transfer refers to the process that transfer or exchange genetic material between organisms. DNA which bears functional genes are exchanged among organisms causing the change in their genomic composition. It can occur in two types named vertical gene transfer and horizontal gene transfer. Horizontal gene […]
