Amwoga Khalwale Purines and Pyrimidines are two types of nitrogenous bases found as the building blocks of nucleic acid of both DNA and RNA. Equal amounts of purines and Pyrimidines are found in cells. Both purines and Pyrimidines are heterocyclic, aromatic organic compounds which are involved in the synthesis of proteins and starch, regulation of enzymes and … Read more
What Is Diamond? Diamond is a rare, naturally occurring mineral composed of carbon. It is a mineral composed of pure carbon. Each carbon atom in a diamond is surrounded by four other carbon atoms and connected to them by strong covalent bonds. This arrangement holds the atoms firmly in place and makes diamond an exceptionally … Read more
Seismic waves are waves of energy that travel through Earth’s layers, and are a result of earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, magma movement, large landslides and large man-made explosions that give out low-frequency acoustic energy. The propagation velocity of seismic waves depends on density and elasticity of the medium as well as the type of wave. Velocity tends to increase with depth through Earth’s crust and mantle, but drops sharply going from the mantle to outer core. … Read more
What Is Anaconda Programming? Anaconda is a free and open source distribution of the Python and R programming languages and it is used in data science, machine learning, predictive analytics, large-scale data processing and deep learning-related applications aiming to simplify package management and deployment. Anaconda is developed and maintained by Anaconda Inc (Continuum Analytics), which … Read more
What Is Real Image? A real image can be described as the image produced by the reflection or refraction when the light rays arising from the object converge at a point before a mirror or lens. A real image can be projected onto the screen. Examples of real images include the image seen on a … Read more
A person’s eye color depends on how much of a pigment called melanin is stored in the front layers of the iris, the structure surrounding the pupil. Specialized cells called melanocytes produce the melanin, which is stored in intracellular compartment called melanosomes. People have roughly the same number of melanocytes, but the amount of melanin … Read more
What Is X64? X64 is a generic name for the 64-bit extensions to Intel’s and AMD’s 32-bit x86 instruction set architecture (ISA). AMD introduced the first version of x64, initially called x86-64 and later renamed AMD64. Intel named their implementation IA-32e and then EMT64. There are some slight incompatibilities between the two versions, but most … Read more
What Is Subnetting? Subnetting is the technique of dividing a network into two or more smaller networks. In Subnetting we create multiple small manageable networks from a single large IP network. This increases routing, enhances the security of the network and reduces the size of the broadcast domain. Subnetting also ensures that traffic destined for … Read more
What Is a Fuse? In electrical, a fuse is an essential device used in various electrical circuits which gives the protections from the over-current. It is made up of a thin strip or strand of metal, so that, whenever the heavy amount of current or an excessive current flow is there in an electrical circuit, … Read more
Mushroom Mushroom can be described as a fungal growth that typically takes the form of a domed cap on a stalk, with gills on the underside of the Cap. Although these typically above-ground structures are the most conspicuous to humans, they make up only a small portion of the entire fungal body. Mushrooms are generally … Read more
