The key difference between rhizoids and rhizomes is that rhizoids are root-like filaments growing out of epidermal cells of bryophytes which are useful in anchoring in place and absorbing nutrients and water while rhizomes are horizontally growing underground modified stems which store foods and are useful in vegetative propagation. Rhizoids and rhizomes are two root-like […]
Difference Between dATP and ddATP
The key difference between dATP and ddATP is that dATP does not terminate DNA synthesis while ddATP is able to terminate DNA synthesis. This is because ddATP has an H atom attached to 3ʹ position of the pentose sugar while dATP has an OH group attached to 3ʹ position. dNTPs are building blocks of DNA. […]
Difference Between Autoinfection and Hyperinfection
The key difference between autoinfection and hyperinfection is that autoinfection is a type of reinfection with larvae produced by parasitic worms already present in the body while hyperinfection is a type of repeated reinfection caused due to increased larval migration. Reinfection is mainly associated with immunocompromised people. Autoinfection and hyperinfection are two types of reinfections. […]
Difference Between Monogenic Disorders and Chromosomal Disorders
The key difference between monogenic disorders and chromosomal disorders is that monogenic disorders are disorders associated with single genes, while chromosomal disorders are diseases associated with abnormalities in chromosomes and part of the chromosomes. Gene is the structural and functional unit of heredity. Gene has a specific nucleotide sequence. There are thousands of genes in […]
Difference Between Bacteriophage and TMV
The key difference between bacteriophage and TMV is that bacteriophage is a virus which infects a specific bacterium while TMV is a virus which infects tobacco and a wide range of plants. Viruses are tiny infectious particles that replicate only inside a living organism. They are obligate intracellular parasites that are capable of infecting almost […]
Difference Between STAT5A and STAT5B
The key difference between STAT5A and STAT5B is that STAT5A is a protein in humans coded by STAT5A gene while STAT5B is a protein in humans coded by STAT5B gene. Signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT) is a family of universal transcription factors. They are proteins that help cells to sense and respond to […]
Difference Between Sawfly Larvae and Caterpillars
The key difference between sawfly larvae and caterpillars is that sawfly larvae are immature stages of wasps or bee-like insects that have prolegs on every segment of the abdomen while caterpillars are immature stages of moths and butterflies which have two to five pairs of prolegs. Sawfly larvae and caterpillars are two types of cigar-shaped immature […]
Difference Between Double Fertilization and Triple Fusion
The key difference between double fertilization and triple fusion is that double fertilization produces seeds and fruits while triple fusion results in the endosperm, which nourishes the developing embryo. Double fertilization is a special trait of flowering plants. It takes place during the sexual reproduction of flowering plants. Two separate nuclear fusions take place […]
Difference Between Symphyta and Apocrita
The key difference between Scymphyta and Apocrita is that Symphyta is one of the two suborders of order Hymenoptera containing the most primitive members including sawflies and horntails while Apocrita is the second suborder of order Hymenoptera containing most highly evolved members of the order including ants, bees, wasps, braconids, ichneumons, chalcids, nearly all parasitic […]
Difference Between Benzodiazepines and Barbiturates
The key difference between benzodiazepines and barbiturates is that barbiturates cause a high neuronal depression when compared to benzodiazepines. Benzodiazepines and barbiturates are drugs that are useful in medicine. Benzodiazepines have the structure of a benzene ring that is fused with a diazepine ring while barbiturates are chemical derivatives of barbituric acid. CONTENTS 1. Overview and […]
