Random mutations are the ultimate source of genetic variation. Mutations are likely to be rare and most mutations are neutral or deleterious, but in some instances, the new alleles can be favored by natural selection. Polyploidy is an example of chromosomal mutation.

Mutations are changes in the DNA. A single mutation can have a large effect.

1) mutation - an alteration in DNA sequence, various types

2) intragenic recombination - results in entirely new associations of genes not present in either parental genome.

Two forms of intragenic recombination:

a) crossing over
b) independent assortment
3) reticulation – acquisition of genetic material from unrelated or relatively unrelated sources (e.g., hybrid species, horizontal gene transfer).

Statistics is a branch of mathematics dealing with the collection, analysis, interpretation, presentation, and organization of data.

All scientists uses Statistics for analysing data.

1 TB  >  1 GB  >  1 MB  >  1 KB

1 Tb (Tera Byte) = 1024 GB

1 GB (Giga Byte) = 1024 MB

1 MB (Mega Byte) = 1024 KB

1 KB (Kilo Byte) = 1024 Bytes

1 Byte = 8 Bit

Hence, largest unit of information is TB (Tera Byte) and smallest unit of information is Bit.

Mason Dixon Line

The number of cell layers and cell types together give rise to 6 different types of epithelial tissue.

1. Simple squamous epithelia

2. Simple cuboidal epithelia

3. Simple columnar epithelia

4. Stratified squamous epithelia

5. Stratified cuboidal epithelia

6. Stratified columnar epithelia

Stratified squamous epithelia is best suited for areas subject to friction.
