Haploid plants are characterized by possessing only a single set of chromosomes (gametophytic number of chromosomes i.e. n) in the sporophyte. This is in contrast to diploids which contain two sets (2n) of chromosomes. Haploid plants are of great significance for the production of homozygous lines (homozygous plants) and for …

Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) synthesis is a process by which copies of nucleic acid strands are made. In nature, DNA synthesis takes place in cells by a mechanism known as DNA replication. Using genetic engineering and enzyme chemistry, scientists have developed man-made methods for synthesizing DNA. The key to understanding DNA synthesis is understanding its structure. …

The final stage of aerobic respiration is the electron transport chain, which is located on the inner mitochondrial membrane. The inner membrane is arranged into folds (cristae), which increases the surface area available for the transport chain The electron transport chain releases the energy stored within the reduced hydrogen carriers in …
