Know in one minute about C value paradox The c value paradox is the developing form of C value. C value is considered as the number of DNA base pairs present in the haploid set of the genome. C value phenomenon is the Complexity of an organism that is increased if the number of DNA
Know in one minute about histone Histones are positively charged basic proteins. They are found in the nuclei of eukaryotic cells responsible for DNA folding and chromatin formation. Hence, they are important for the formation of nucleosomes. The core particle is octamer. These proteins are rich in positively charged amino acids such as lysine and

Introduction Monosaccharides are the simplest types of carbohydrates that cannot be hydrolyzed further into small units. Monosaccharides are classified according to the number of carbon atoms. Pentose is a type of monosaccharide that contains 5 carbon atoms in its structure. For example, a molecule of three carbon atoms is trioses, four carbon atoms are tetrodes

Introduction The polymers of amino acids are peptides and large peptides are called proteins. Proteins are macromolecules that are constructed by the repetition of one or more structural elements, called monomers. In the case of proteins, the monomers are a group of about 20 amino acids. Proteins have different properties thus the properties of proteins
