The key difference between cyanohydrin and nitrile is that cyanohydrin compounds contain a cyano group and a hydroxy group whereas nitrile compounds contain only cyano groups. Both cyanohydrin and nitrile compounds contain cyano groups (-CN functional group). These compounds have these functional groups attached to an alkyl or aryl group; thus, we can categorize them […]

Difference Between Mullerian and Batesian Mimicry
The key difference between Mullerian and Batesian mimicry is that in Mullerian mimicry, two harmful species mimic each other as a survival technique, while in Batesian mimicry, a harmless species mimics the appearance of a harmful or noxious species. Animals use various defensive or warning signalling mechanisms to avoid predators. They change their colours, use […]
Difference Between Symmetric and Asymmetric Top Molecules
The key difference between symmetric and asymmetric top molecules is that symmetric top molecules have one proper rotation axis and two moments of inertia that are equal to each other whereas asymmetric top molecules have all the principal components of the moment of inertia different from each other. The term symmetric and asymmetric top […]
Difference Between Transgenic and Knockout Mice
The key difference between transgenic and knockout mice is that transgenic mice have foreign genes inserted into its genome while knockout mice have a functionally inactivated gene of interest. Genetic engineering is the field of genetics in which the genetic makeup of an organism is modified or manipulated by recombinant DNA technology. Transgenic organisms are […]
Difference Between Polarography and Voltammetry
The key difference between polarography and voltammetry is that the polarography is a type of voltammetry that uses a liquid metal electrode whereas the voltammetry is an analytical technique in which the potential is varied regularly while the current is monitored. Voltammetry is an electroanalytical method which has applications in analytical chemistry and in various […]
Difference Between Supramolecular Chemistry and Molecular Chemistry
The key difference between supramolecular chemistry and molecular chemistry is that supramolecular chemistry deals with weak, reversible non-covalent interactions between molecules whereas molecular chemistry deals with laws governing the formation and breakage of chemical bonds between molecules. Chemistry is a broad subject that can be subdivided into different areas depending on the subject matter. Some […]
Difference Between Gelatinization and Retrogradation
The key difference between gelatinization and retrogradation is that gelatinization refers to the act of making or becoming gelatinous, whereas retrogradation refers to the motion in a retrograde manner. The terms gelatinization and retrogradation describe the properties of starch. Starch is a polymeric carbohydrate that consists of numerous glucose units that are joined by glycosidic […]
Difference Between Cisgenesis and Intragenesis
The key difference between cisgenesis and intragenesis is that in cisgenesis, genes are introduced without doing any change to the DNA sequence, and the genes have its native promoter, introns and terminator sequences while in intragenesis, genes can be designed using genetic elements from other plants with the same sexually compatible gene pool. Transgenesis is […]
Difference Between Anolyte and Catholyte
The key difference between anolyte and catholyte is that anolyte is an electrolytic solution mainly containing anionic species whereas catholyte is an electrolytic solution mainly containing cationic species. Anolytes and catholytes are liquid solutions containing electrolytic ionic species such as anions and cations. These electrolytic solutions have different applications in biological systems. CONTENTS 1. Overview […]
Difference Between DNA-RNA Hybrids and dsDNA
The key difference between DNA-RNA hybrids and dsDNA is that DNA-RNA hybrids are double-stranded nucleotides composed of one DNA strand and one complementary RNA strand while dsDNA is a double-stranded DNA composed of two complementary DNA strands. In its native state, DNA is double-stranded. It has two complementary DNA strands bonded via hydrogen bonds. RNA […]
