Amwoga KhalwaleDNA replication is the biological process by which genetic information is duplicated to produce two identical copies of an organism’s genome. DNA replication occurs in all living organisms acting as the basis for biological inheritance. The cell possesses the distinctive property of division which makes replication of DNA essential. DNA is made up of a … Read more
Typically, the term phase in electricity refers to the current or the voltage available in a connected wire as well as a neutral cable. Power supply system is generally classified into two types, namely single phase power supply and three phase power supply. Both power systems use AC power (a type of electric power in … Read more
What Is Growth? Growth is the increase in the cell size and number that take place during the life history of an organism. The increase in size and changes in shape of a developing organism depend on the increase in the number and size of cells that make up the individual. Increase in size resulting … Read more
English bond and Flemish bond are the two most common brick masonry patterns used in wall construction. They are classified based on laying and bonding style of bricks in walls. The bonds in brick masonry are developed by the mortar filling between layers of bricks and in grooves when bricks are laid adjacent to each … Read more

Java AWT components are platform-dependent i.e components are displayed according to the view of the operating system. AWT is part of … Read more
What Is Allyl? An allyl in organic chemistry is a substituent functional group with a general molecular formula RCH2CH=CH2. Allyl group holds three carbon atoms and five hydrogen atoms, which gets attached to any other group of atoms through –CH2 group. Allyl group consists of (-CH2-) methylene bridge and is attached with (-CH=CH2) vinyl group. … Read more
What Is A Jig? Jig is a work holding device that holds supports and locates the workpiece and guides the cutting tool for a specific operation. Often a jig is made of metal which locates and holds the workpiece in a positive manner and also guides the cutting tool such that it is in the … Read more
What Is Hard Iron? Hard iron is an iron which is not readily magnetized by induction but which retains a high percentage of the magnetism acquired. When a bar of non-magnetized iron is placed in magnetic field, the direction of magnetization of the magnetic domains tends to move towards the direction of the field. This … Read more
A beam is a very important component of construction or building. However, every steel or metal beam is not the same; rather they are distinguishable from each other in terms of grade, size, shape and even quality of metals used in its making. Some of the common forms of beams include: Universal Beams W-Beam H-beam … Read more
Molecular geometry in chemistry is the three-dimensional arrangement of atoms that constitute a molecule. It includes the general shape of the molecule as well as bond lengths, bond angles, torsional angles and any other geometrical parameters that determine the position of each atom. Understanding the molecular structure of a compound can help determine the polarity, … Read more
