The key difference between pulse and pulse pressure is that pulse is a rhythmic beating in the arteries caused by the beating of the heart while pulse pressure is the difference between systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure. Pulse pressure is an indicator of our heart health. It is the difference between systolic (pressure […]
Difference Between Panmictic and Apomictic Species
The key difference between panmictic and apomictic species is that panmictic species are all potential mating partners since there are no behavioural or genetic mating restrictions while apomictic species bypass meiosis and fertilization during the formation of seeds asexually. Panmictic and apomictic species are two categories of organisms. Panmixia is the random mating of individuals […]
Difference Between ORF and Exon
The key difference between ORF and exon is that the ORF or the open reading frame is a stretch of DNA sequence that begins with translation initiation site (start codon) and ends with translation termination site (stop codon) while exon is a nucleotide sequence within a gene that encodes for amino acids. An open reading […]
Difference Between DNA and RNA Probes
The key difference between DNA and RNA probes is that DNA probes are fragments of DNA that are complementary to target nucleotide sequences while RNA probes are stretches of single-stranded RNA which are complementary nucleic acid sequences of target sequences. A probe is an artificially synthesized short sequence of DNA or RNA that could be […]
Difference Between Hypermorph and Neomorph
The key difference between hypermorph and neomorph is that hypermorph alleles produce the same active product with an increased activity while neomorph alleles produce an active product with a new different function. A mutation is a change in the nucleotide sequence of a gene. As a result, the gene cannot produce the same product as […]
Difference Between Haploinsufficiency and Dominant Negative
The key difference between haploinsufficiency and dominant negative is that haploinsufficiency involves the loss of function in just one copy of two alleles while dominant-negative involves the gain of function mutation. Haploinsufficiency and dominant-negative are two types of dominant mutations. Haploinsufficiency is due to the loss of function while dominant-negative is due to the gain […]
Difference Between CSF and Mucus
The key difference between CSF and mucus is that cerebrospinal fluid or CSF is the clear fluid that surrounds and cushions the central nervous system while mucus is the white, stingy and slippery fluid produced by many tissues of our body. CSF and mucus are two important fluids present in our body. CSF surrounds our […]
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 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 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 […]
