The key difference between artificial embryo twinning and somatic cell nuclear transfer is that artificial embryo twinning is the technique in which splitting of a fertilized egg into two genetically identical embryos takes place under in vitro conditions while somatic cell nuclear transfer is a technique in which insertion of a somatic cell nucleus into […]

Difference Between Homologous Structures and Vestigial Structures
The key difference between homologous structures and vestigial structures is that homologous structures are the anatomically similar structures found in different organisms that share a common ancestor while vestigial structures are the anatomical structures which have lost their usefulness to an organism. Homologous structures are vestigial structures are two types of anatomical structures which are […]
Difference Between CSF and KPI
The key difference between CSF and KPI is that CSF refers to the causes for success whereas KPI refers to the effects of success. CSF stands for critical success factors while KPI stands for key performance indicators. Both CSF and KPI are quite common concepts in the modern business world and used as tools to […]
Difference Between Germination and Vivipary
The key difference between germination and vivipary is that germination is the emergence of a seedling from a seed under favourable conditions while vivipary is the process of premature seed germination and development of embryos inside the fruit before detaching from the parent plant. Seed plants use their seeds to spread in the environment. When […]
Difference Between Silicone and Siloxane
The key difference between silicone and siloxane is that silicone is a polymer material whereas siloxane is a functional group. Although we use the terms silicone and siloxane interchangeably, they are very different from each other; a siloxane is a functional group while silicone is a substance containing this functional group. CONTENTS 1. Overview and […]
Difference Between Complementation and Recombination
The key difference between complementation and recombination is that complementation is the ability of two mutants in combination to restore a normal phenotype while recombination is the exchange of genetic material between chromosomes, resulting in physical alterations in chromosomes. Complementation and recombination are two concepts that produce genetically different organisms. Complementation restores the normal phenotype […]
Difference Between Sapling and Seedling
The key difference between sapling and seedling is that sapling is a young tree which is less than one year old and has 1 to 6 inches of diameter at breast height while seedling is a young plant which has cotyledons and adolescent leaves and has less than 1 inch of diameter at breast height. […]
Difference Between Coordination Compound and Complex Ion
The key difference between coordination compound and complex ion is that coordination compound can be charged or uncharged, whereas complex ion is a charged species. The terms coordination compound and complex ion come under the coordination chemistry in the branch of inorganic chemistry. Although we often use these terms interchangeably, there is a difference between […]
Difference Between Dimensional Analysis and Stoichiometry
The key difference between dimensional analysis and stoichiometry is that dimensional analysis is the conversion between an amount in one unit to the corresponding amount in the desired unit using various conversion factors whereas stoichiometry involves using relationships between reactants and/or products in a chemical reaction to determine desired quantitative data. The term dimensional analysis […]
Difference Between SEM and TEM
The key difference between SEM and TEM is that SEM creates an image by detecting reflected electrons, whereas TEM creates an image by detecting transmitted electrons. SEM and TEM are analytical instruments that we use in electron microscopy to get an image of a tiny object using a beam of electrons. CONTENTS 1. Overview and […]
