Coronaviruses get their name from the crown-like shape of the viral particles, which have a distinctive "corona" or halo of protein spikes on their surface.
These spikes give the virus its characteristic appearance under an electron microscope, resembling a crown or a halo.
This is why the name "coronavirus" was chosen, as it reflects the virus's unique morphology.
The epididymis is a tube-like structure located behind each testicle where sperm cells are stored, matured, and nourished before being transported to the vas deferens and eventually ejaculated.
In protein synthesis, the initiation of a polypeptide chain is typically started by an amino acid called methionine (Met).
This is because methionine has a special tRNA (transfer RNA) that recognizes the start codon (AUG) on the mRNA (messenger RNA) and initiates protein synthesis.
Fishes are the first formed Chordates, which is a phylum of animals that includes vertebrates (animals with backbones) and some invertebrates (animals without backbones).
Chordates are characterized by the presence of a notochord (a flexible, rod-like structure that provides support and stiffness) at some stage in their development.
Turner's syndrome is a genetic disorder caused by a monosomy, where a person has only one copy of the X chromosome (45,X or 45,X0) instead of the usual two (46,XX or 46,XY).
This results in a range of physical and developmental abnormalities.
Ticks and mites are members of the subclass Acari, which is a group of tiny arachnids that includes many parasitic species.
Ticks are ectoparasites that feed on the blood of animals and humans, while mites include both free-living and parasitic species, with some feeding on skin, blood, or other bodily secretions.
