Reproduction is an integral feature of all living beings. The process by which a living being produces its own like is called reproduction.
Importance of Reproduction:
Reproduction is important for each species, because this is the only way for a living being to continue its lineage. Apart from being important for a particular individual, reproduction is also important for the whole ecosystem. Reproduction helps in maintaining a proper balance among various biotic constituents of the ecosystem. Moreover, reproduction also facilitates evolution because variations come through reproduction; over several generations.

A dam can also be used to collect or store water which can be evenly distributed between locations. Dams generally serve the primary purpose of retaining water, while other structures such as floodgates or levees (also known as dikes) are used to manage or prevent water flow into specific land regions. The earliest known dam is the Jawa Dam in Jordan, dating to 3,000 BC
Market division is the way toward partitioning a market of potential clients into gatherings, or fragments, in light of various qualities. The portions made are made out of purchasers who will react also to showcasing techniques and who share characteristics, for example, comparative interests, needs, or areas.
A target market is the market a company wants to sell its products and services to, and it includes a targeted set of customers for whom it directs its marketing efforts. Identifying the target market is an essential step in the development of a marketing plan.

Observation of Io’s Resurfacing via Plume Deposition Using Ground-based Adapt...Sérgio Sacani
Since volcanic activity was first discovered on Io from Voyager images in 1979, changes
on Io’s surface have been monitored from both spacecraft and ground-based telescopes.
Here, we present the highest spatial resolution images of Io ever obtained from a groundbased telescope. These images, acquired by the SHARK-VIS instrument on the Large
Binocular Telescope, show evidence of a major resurfacing event on Io’s trailing hemisphere. When compared to the most recent spacecraft images, the SHARK-VIS images
show that a plume deposit from a powerful eruption at Pillan Patera has covered part
of the long-lived Pele plume deposit. Although this type of resurfacing event may be common on Io, few have been detected due to the rarity of spacecraft visits and the previously low spatial resolution available from Earth-based telescopes. The SHARK-VIS instrument ushers in a new era of high resolution imaging of Io’s surface using adaptive
optics at visible wavelengths.
Introduction:
RNA interference (RNAi) or Post-Transcriptional Gene Silencing (PTGS) is an important biological process for modulating eukaryotic gene expression.
It is highly conserved process of posttranscriptional gene silencing by which double stranded RNA (dsRNA) causes sequence-specific degradation of mRNA sequences.
dsRNA-induced gene silencing (RNAi) is reported in a wide range of eukaryotes ranging from worms, insects, mammals and plants.
This process mediates resistance to both endogenous parasitic and exogenous pathogenic nucleic acids, and regulates the expression of protein-coding genes.
What are small ncRNAs?
micro RNA (miRNA)
short interfering RNA (siRNA)
Properties of small non-coding RNA:
Involved in silencing mRNA transcripts.
Called “small” because they are usually only about 21-24 nucleotides long.
Synthesized by first cutting up longer precursor sequences (like the 61nt one that Lee discovered).
Silence an mRNA by base pairing with some sequence on the mRNA.
Discovery of siRNA?
The first small RNA:
In 1993 Rosalind Lee (Victor Ambros lab) was studying a non- coding gene in C. elegans, lin-4, that was involved in silencing of another gene, lin-14, at the appropriate time in the
development of the worm C. elegans.
Two small transcripts of lin-4 (22nt and 61nt) were found to be complementary to a sequence in the 3' UTR of lin-14.
Because lin-4 encoded no protein, she deduced that it must be these transcripts that are causing the silencing by RNA-RNA interactions.
Types of RNAi ( non coding RNA)
MiRNA
Length (23-25 nt)
Trans acting
Binds with target MRNA in mismatch
Translation inhibition
Si RNA
Length 21 nt.
Cis acting
Bind with target Mrna in perfect complementary sequence
Piwi-RNA
Length ; 25 to 36 nt.
Expressed in Germ Cells
Regulates trnasposomes activity
MECHANISM OF RNAI:
First the double-stranded RNA teams up with a protein complex named Dicer, which cuts the long RNA into short pieces.
Then another protein complex called RISC (RNA-induced silencing complex) discards one of the two RNA strands.
The RISC-docked, single-stranded RNA then pairs with the homologous mRNA and destroys it.
THE RISC COMPLEX:
RISC is large(>500kD) RNA multi- protein Binding complex which triggers MRNA degradation in response to MRNA
Unwinding of double stranded Si RNA by ATP independent Helicase
Active component of RISC is Ago proteins( ENDONUCLEASE) which cleave target MRNA.
DICER: endonuclease (RNase Family III)
Argonaute: Central Component of the RNA-Induced Silencing Complex (RISC)
One strand of the dsRNA produced by Dicer is retained in the RISC complex in association with Argonaute
ARGONAUTE PROTEIN :
1.PAZ(PIWI/Argonaute/ Zwille)- Recognition of target MRNA
2.PIWI (p-element induced wimpy Testis)- breaks Phosphodiester bond of mRNA.)RNAse H activity.
MiRNA:
The Double-stranded RNAs are naturally produced in eukaryotic cells during development, and they have a key role in regulating gene expression .
Deep Behavioral Phenotyping in Systems Neuroscience for Functional Atlasing a...Ana Luísa Pinho
Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) provides means to characterize brain activations in response to behavior. However, cognitive neuroscience has been limited to group-level effects referring to the performance of specific tasks. To obtain the functional profile of elementary cognitive mechanisms, the combination of brain responses to many tasks is required. Yet, to date, both structural atlases and parcellation-based activations do not fully account for cognitive function and still present several limitations. Further, they do not adapt overall to individual characteristics. In this talk, I will give an account of deep-behavioral phenotyping strategies, namely data-driven methods in large task-fMRI datasets, to optimize functional brain-data collection and improve inference of effects-of-interest related to mental processes. Key to this approach is the employment of fast multi-functional paradigms rich on features that can be well parametrized and, consequently, facilitate the creation of psycho-physiological constructs to be modelled with imaging data. Particular emphasis will be given to music stimuli when studying high-order cognitive mechanisms, due to their ecological nature and quality to enable complex behavior compounded by discrete entities. I will also discuss how deep-behavioral phenotyping and individualized models applied to neuroimaging data can better account for the subject-specific organization of domain-general cognitive systems in the human brain. Finally, the accumulation of functional brain signatures brings the possibility to clarify relationships among tasks and create a univocal link between brain systems and mental functions through: (1) the development of ontologies proposing an organization of cognitive processes; and (2) brain-network taxonomies describing functional specialization. To this end, tools to improve commensurability in cognitive science are necessary, such as public repositories, ontology-based platforms and automated meta-analysis tools. I will thus discuss some brain-atlasing resources currently under development, and their applicability in cognitive as well as clinical neuroscience.
THE IMPORTANCE OF MARTIAN ATMOSPHERE SAMPLE RETURN.Sérgio Sacani
The return of a sample of near-surface atmosphere from Mars would facilitate answers to several first-order science questions surrounding the formation and evolution of the planet. One of the important aspects of terrestrial planet formation in general is the role that primary atmospheres played in influencing the chemistry and structure of the planets and their antecedents. Studies of the martian atmosphere can be used to investigate the role of a primary atmosphere in its history. Atmosphere samples would also inform our understanding of the near-surface chemistry of the planet, and ultimately the prospects for life. High-precision isotopic analyses of constituent gases are needed to address these questions, requiring that the analyses are made on returned samples rather than in situ.
(May 29th, 2024) Advancements in Intravital Microscopy- Insights for Preclini...Scintica Instrumentation
Intravital microscopy (IVM) is a powerful tool utilized to study cellular behavior over time and space in vivo. Much of our understanding of cell biology has been accomplished using various in vitro and ex vivo methods; however, these studies do not necessarily reflect the natural dynamics of biological processes. Unlike traditional cell culture or fixed tissue imaging, IVM allows for the ultra-fast high-resolution imaging of cellular processes over time and space and were studied in its natural environment. Real-time visualization of biological processes in the context of an intact organism helps maintain physiological relevance and provide insights into the progression of disease, response to treatments or developmental processes.
In this webinar we give an overview of advanced applications of the IVM system in preclinical research. IVIM technology is a provider of all-in-one intravital microscopy systems and solutions optimized for in vivo imaging of live animal models at sub-micron resolution. The system’s unique features and user-friendly software enables researchers to probe fast dynamic biological processes such as immune cell tracking, cell-cell interaction as well as vascularization and tumor metastasis with exceptional detail. This webinar will also give an overview of IVM being utilized in drug development, offering a view into the intricate interaction between drugs/nanoparticles and tissues in vivo and allows for the evaluation of therapeutic intervention in a variety of tissues and organs. This interdisciplinary collaboration continues to drive the advancements of novel therapeutic strategies.
Professional air quality monitoring systems provide immediate, on-site data for analysis, compliance, and decision-making.
Monitor common gases, weather parameters, particulates.
Richard's entangled aventures in wonderlandRichard Gill
Since the loophole-free Bell experiments of 2020 and the Nobel prizes in physics of 2022, critics of Bell's work have retreated to the fortress of super-determinism. Now, super-determinism is a derogatory word - it just means "determinism". Palmer, Hance and Hossenfelder argue that quantum mechanics and determinism are not incompatible, using a sophisticated mathematical construction based on a subtle thinning of allowed states and measurements in quantum mechanics, such that what is left appears to make Bell's argument fail, without altering the empirical predictions of quantum mechanics. I think however that it is a smoke screen, and the slogan "lost in math" comes to my mind. I will discuss some other recent disproofs of Bell's theorem using the language of causality based on causal graphs. Causal thinking is also central to law and justice. I will mention surprising connections to my work on serial killer nurse cases, in particular the Dutch case of Lucia de Berk and the current UK case of Lucy Letby.
Nutraceutical market, scope and growth: Herbal drug technologyLokesh Patil
As consumer awareness of health and wellness rises, the nutraceutical market—which includes goods like functional meals, drinks, and dietary supplements that provide health advantages beyond basic nutrition—is growing significantly. As healthcare expenses rise, the population ages, and people want natural and preventative health solutions more and more, this industry is increasing quickly. Further driving market expansion are product formulation innovations and the use of cutting-edge technology for customized nutrition. With its worldwide reach, the nutraceutical industry is expected to keep growing and provide significant chances for research and investment in a number of categories, including vitamins, minerals, probiotics, and herbal supplements.

4. Reproduction
• Reproduction is an integral feature of all living beings. The process by
which a living being produces its own like is called reproduction.
Importance of Reproduction:
• Reproduction is important for each species, because this is the only
way for a living being to continue its lineage. Apart from being
important for a particular individual, reproduction is also important
for the whole ecosystem. Reproduction helps in maintaining a proper
balance among various biotic constituents of the ecosystem.
Moreover, reproduction also facilitates evolution because variations
come through reproduction; over several generations.
6. Types of Reproduction
There are two main types, viz. asexual and sexual reproduction.
• Asexual Reproduction: When a single parent is involved and no
gamete formation takes place; the method is called asexual
reproduction. No meiosis happens during asexual reproduction.
• Sexual Reproduction: When two parents are involved and gamete
formation takes; the method is called sexual reproduction. Meiosis
happens during gamete formation; which is an important step of
sexual reproduction.
8. Fission
Binary Fission: Most of the unicellular animals prefer this method for
reproduction. These organisms reproduce by binary fission; especially
when conditions are favorable, i.e. adequate amount of food and
moisture is available. The mother cell divides into two daughter cells;
and each daughter cell begins its life like a new individual. The parent
generation ceases to exist, after binary fission. Amoeba is a very good
example of the organism which reproduces by binary fission.
9. Binary Fission In Protozoa
Source :- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X7Qz9oc4DsA
10. • Multiple Fission: When conditions become unfavorable, i.e. food,
moisture, proper temperature, etc. are not available; this is the
preferred mode of reproduction by unicellular organisms. The
organism develops a thick coating around itself. This is called cyst.
The cyst helps the organism to tide over the bad phase. The nucleus
divides into several nuclei and each daughter nucleus is surrounded
by a membrane. When favorable conditions return, the cyst dissolves
or breaks down; releasing the daughter nuclei. The daughter nuclei;
in turn; grow into new individuals. Plasmodium and endameba
undergo cyst stage, when they are not in the body of their prime
host, i.e. humans.
11. Budding
• Budding: Yeast is an example of unicellular organism which
reproduces by budding. Hydra is an example of multicellular
organism which reproduces by this method.
• Budding in Yeast: A small bud grows at any end of the yeast cell.
Nucleus gets elongated and a part of it protrudes into the bud.
The nucleus then divides into two nuclei. One of the nuclei goes
into the bud. The bud grows to certain extent and gets detached
from the mother cell.
• Budding in Hydra: A bud grows anywhere on the main body of
hydra. The bud grows to a certain size and gets detached from the
mother hydra. This develops further to grow into a new individual.
13. Fragmentation
• Fragmentation: Reproduction by fragmentation is seen in
filamentous algae, e.g. spirogyra. The filament of spirogyra
divides into many pieces and each piece develops into a new
individual.
14. Regeneration
• Regeneration: Some simple organisms can regenerate a new
individual from a part which has been accidentally cut off.
Planaria shows good example of reproduction by
regeneration. If a Planaria is cut into several pieces; each
piece develops into a new individual.
15. Spore Formation
• Spore Formation: Most of the fungi, bryophytes and pteridophytes
reproduce by this method. Spores are produced in special spore-
bearing organs; called sporangium. When spores mature; the
sporangium bursts open to release them.
• Advantages of Spore Formation: In fact, spores give certain survival
benefits to the organisms which reproduce by spores. Spores can be
disseminated through air and water or even through some other
carriers; like animals. This helps an organism to spread its presence
to a wider geographical area. Spores can also remain dormant for a
long time, till favorable conditions are found. Scientists consider
spores are precursors of seeds.
17. Vegetative Propagation:
Vegetative Propagation: Vegetative propagation is a special case,
as it happens in higher plants; which otherwise have the
capability to reproduce sexually. When a vegetative part of a
flowering plant reproduces a new plant, it is called vegetative
propagation. Some examples of vegetative propagation are given
below.
Leaf of Bryophyllum: Leaves of bryophyllum have notches on the
margin. If a leaf is put under the soil, small saplings grow from
the notches on the leaf margin.
18. Artificial Vegetative Propagation
• Artificial Vegetative Propagation: Man has used artificial
vegetative propagation to grow many plants. This has
enabled farmers and horticulturists to grow many plants in
shorter duration and has helped them to earn more profit.
Artificial vegetative propagation has also helped in
developing many new varieties of plants. Stem cutting,
layering and grafting are the preferred means of artificial
vegetative propagation
19. Advantages of Asexual Reproduction:
• The organism does not have to depend on another organism
for carrying out reproduction; because a single parent is
needed.
• It takes less time than sexual reproduction and hence more
number of offspring can be produced in shorter time.
• The offspring are exact clones of their parent.
• Desirable characteristics can be easily incorporated into
plants with artificial vegetative propagation.
20. Disadvantages of Asexual Reproduction:
• As a single parent is involved, so there is negligible chance of
variation.
• In most of the cases in simple organisms, the parent
generation ceases to exist after asexual reproduction.
• Asexual reproduction cannot give rise to biodiversity which is
important for a healthy ecosystem.
21. Sexual Reproduction and Variations:
• As discussed earlier, sexual reproduction involves two parents and
gamete formation. Gametes are special cells which are formed
after meiosis. There are two types of gametes, viz. male and
female gametes. The number of chromosomes is haploid in the
gametes. When gametes fuse during fertilization, the number of
chromosomes becomes diploid. This is important for maintaining
the unique identity of a particular species which reproduces by
sexual method.
• In sexual reproduction, the offspring gets sets of genes from two
different individuals. This leads to subtle variation through
subsequent generations. These variations accumulate over thousand
of generations and finally may give rise to a new species. That is
how all complex organisms have evolved from a common ancestor.
22. DNA Replication
• DNA replication is the process by which
DNA makes a copy of itself. DNA
replication happens during the S – phase
(synthesis phase) of the cell cycle. This is
important because the daughter cells
would need additional copies of the DNA.
The process of DNA replication is a
foolproof process, yet some alterations do
take place. These alterations may lead to
some variations in the characters of the
daughter cells.
24. Sexual Reproduction in Flowering Plants
Flower is a modified leaf which bears special organs and plays the
role of reproductive system in he plant.
A typical flower is composed of four distinct whorls, viz. calyx,
corolla, androecium and gynoecium.
25. • Calyx: The outermost whorl of the flower is called calyx. It is composed
of green leaf-like structures; called sepals.
• Corolla: The second whorl of the flower is called corolla. It is composed
of colourful leaf-like structures; called petals. Petals are colourful so
that insects and birds can be attracted; to assist the flower in
pollination.
• Androecium: This is the third whorl in the flower. It is composed of
stamens. Stamen is made of a slender stalk and anthers on top.
Anthers produce the pollen-grains. Pollen grains are the male gametes.
• Gynoecium: This whorl is at the centre of the flower. It is composed of
a swollen base; called ovary. A slender style stands upright on the
ovary. It has a flat top; called stigma. Ovules are inside the ovary.
Ovules are the female gametes.
26.
27. Pollination
• Pollination: The pollen grains need to be transferred to the
stigma so that fertilization can take place. The transfer of
pollen grains from anther to the stigma is called pollination.
If the pollen grains from the same flower or the same plant
are transferred to the stigma; it is called self pollination. If
pollen grains from a different plant are transferred to the
stigma; it is called cross-pollination. Cross pollination is
better; from the perspective of variations. Many agents help
plants in cross pollination, e.g. insects, animals, air, water,
etc. Insects are the main pollinators for the plant kingdom.
28. Fertilization:
• The fusion of male and female gametes is called fertilization.
The product of fertilization is called zygote. Zygote
undergoes several rounds of mitosis and develops into an
embryo. Subsequently, the embryo develops into a new
individual.
• Fertilization in flowering plant:
• After landing at the stigma, pollen grains absorb moisture
and germinate. A pollen grain develops a pollen tube; which
penetrates through the tissue of the style and reaches the
ovule. Pollen nuclei are transferred through the pollen tube.
After fertilization, zygote is formed; which finally develops
into the embryo.
29. Changes in flower; After Fertilization:
• The calyx and corolla wither and fall off and so do the stamens. The
ovary turns into the fruit. The embryo turns into seed. Once the seed
becomes mature, fruit dries up so that dispersal of seeds can take
place.
• Structure of Seed: A seed contains an embryo, some reserve food and
is enclosed by a protective covering; called seed coat. The reserve food
is stored in the cotyledons. The embryo has two pointed parts. The
upper part is called plumule which gives rise to the shoot system. The
lower part is called radicle which gives rise to the root system.
Cotyledons supply food when the embryo needs it during germination.
Seed germination is the process by which the embryo in the seed kick-
starts a new life.
31. Reproduction in Human Beings
• Puberty
• Human beings are complex animals and hence there is a
distinct phase in their life cycle which marks the onset and
attainment of sexual maturity. This period is called puberty.
It usually starts at around 10 – 11 years of age in girls and
at around 12 – 13 years of age in boys. It usually ends at
around 18th year of age in girls and at around 19th year of
age in boys. Since the years during puberty end in ‘teens’;
hence this phase is also called teenage.
32. • Changes in Boys during Puberty: The boys suddenly grow in
height dramatically. Voice becomes deep and the Adam’s
apple becomes prominent. Shoulders become broad and body
becomes muscular. Facial hairs begin to grow. Hairs also
grow under the armpit and in the pubic region.
• Changes in Girls during Puberty: The voice becomes thin.
Shoulders and hip become rounded. Breasts get enlarged.
Hairs grow under the armpit and in the pubic region.
• Sexual Dimorphism: The physical dissimilarities in the male
and female of a species which give them different
appearances is called sexual dimorphism.
• Secondary Sexual Characters: Features which highlight sexual
dimorphism are called secondary sexual characters.
33. Male Reproductive System:
• The male reproductive system in human beings is composed of
following parts:
• Testis: There is a pair of testes; which lie in a skin pouch; called
scrotum. Scrotum is suspended outside the body; below the
abdominal cavity. This helps in maintaining the temperature of
testes below the body temperature. This is necessary for optimum
sperm production. Testis primarily serves the function of sperm
production. Sperms are the male gametes. Apart from that, testis
also produces testosterone. Testosterone is also called the male
hormone, as it is responsible for developing certain secondary
sexual characters in boys.
34. • Vas Deferens: Vas deferens is the tube which carries sperms
to the seminal vesicle.
• Seminal Vesicle: This is the place where sperms are stored.
Secretions from the seminal vesicle and prostate gland add
up to make the semen.
• Penis: It is a muscular organ which serves the genitor-
urinary functions. The urethra works as the common passage
for urine as well as for sperms.
35. Female Reproductive System:
• Uterus: This is pear-shaped hollow muscular organ. Uterus is the place where the
embryo gets implanted and develops into a newborn baby. The wall of the uterus
provides safety and nutrition to the growing foetus.
• Fallopian Tubes: One fallopian tube comes out from each side at the top of the uterus.
The fallopian tubes end in finger-like structures; called flimbriae. Fertilization happens
in the fallopian tube.
• Ovary: There are two ovaries; one near each fallopian tube. Ovary produces the eggs or
the female gametes. All the eggs are produces by the ovary when the female child is
still in the womb. One egg matures in each ovulation cycle and is released from the
ovary. The egg is caught by the flimbriae and transferred to the fallopian tube.
• Vagina: The cervix (mouth of the uterus) opens into the vagina. Vagina is a muscular
tube-like organs; which serves as the passage for the sperms and also as the canal
during the child birth.
38. Reproductive Health
• Human beings are different than other animals because they have the
power of thinking. They have to obey certain moral values and need to
behave sensibly in most of the aspects of life. Beginning of puberty does not
mean that a person is psychologically ready for the process of reproduction.
For a human being, reproduction involves more than just producing an
offspring.
• As any act of sex has the potential of fertilization, so taking care of
contraception becomes important. Moreover, the act of sex also has the
potential of creating many sexually transmitted diseases. Examples of STDs
are; gonorrhea, Herpes, syphilis, AIDS, Hepatitis B. AIDS and Hepatitis B
are incurable till date. Even the curable STDs are potential dangerous; not
only physically but also psychologically.
39. • Reproductive health involves preventing the chances of STDs
and preventing unwanted children. Reproductive health
means a couple should be able to enjoy the reproductive
phase of its life; without taking the burden of gigantic
family.
