|
|
abiogenesis× 13

|
epidemiology× 13
The study of the distribution, incidence and eventual control of a disease
|
human-genome× 13
The 23 chromosome pairs, made up of 3 billion base-pairs, 22 chromosomes of which are autosomal and 1 of which are sex determinative.
|
mutations× 13
A change in an organism's genomic sequence.

|
translation× 13
the process of protein synthesis. The information encoded in the mRNA is translated into amino acid sequence by the joint activity of tRNAs and the ribosome.

receptor× 13
a molecular target for a chemical signal such as a neurotransmitter, hormone or drug. Binding of the signal to the receptor initiates or modulates behaviour in the receiving cell.

|
mycology× 12
the study of fungi

microscopy× 12
The technique of using microscopes to view objects that are otherwise too small to be seen by the naked eye.

perception× 12
the process of attaining awareness or understanding of the environment by organizing and interpreting sensory information coming from body receptors and sensory organs into CNS.
|
population-dynamics× 12
The scientific study of short-term and long-term changes in the size and age composition of populations and the processes driving these changes.
|
|
antibiotics× 12
Biotically synthesized chemicals (or their derivatives) that suppress the growth or cause death of bacteria. Other anti-microbials are also considered under the class antibiotics, these days.
|
animal-behaviour× 11
