Systematics: The term "systematics" is derived from the word "systema," meaning the systematic arrangement of organisms. It considers the evolutionary relationships among organisms. Plant systematics, in particular, deals with the…
Taxonomy, the science of classifying organisms, has evolved over centuries from simple groupings based on observable traits to complex systems incorporating evolutionary relationships and molecular data. The history of taxonomy…
I. Taxonomy in Animal Science Taxonomy in animal science is the systematic classification and naming of animals based on their evolutionary relationships, genetic characteristics, and morphology. It plays a crucial…
Sytematics is commonly defined as the study of biological diversity and the relationships among organisms. Taxonomy, that component of systematics specifically focusing on the theory and practice of classification, is…
Taxonomy, in a broad sense the science of classification, but more strictly the classification of living and extinct organisms i.e., biological classification. The term is derived from the Greek taxis (arrangement) and nomos (law). Taxonomy is, therefore, the methodology and principles of systematic botany and zoology and…
Amino acids are either produced by fermentation or chemical synthesis. The products produced by chemical synthesis are produced as racemic mixtures, the D- and L- form of the amino acids.…
The Earth can be divided into distinct regions based on the presence or absence of various organisms. These regions are known as realms. Over time, different scientists have proposed various…
Barriers and dispersal are fundamental concepts in zoogeography, the study of the geographical distribution of animals. They influence how species spread, adapt, and evolve in different regions. Barriers in Zoogeography:…
Animal distribution refers to how animal species are spread across different geographical regions. The distribution of animals is influenced by factors such as climate, habitat availability, competition, predation, geological changes,…
Zoogeography is the branch of biogeography that studies the geographical distribution of animal species across different regions of the world. It helps in understanding how animals are distributed, their evolutionary…
