Metamorphosis
Metamorphosis is a biological process used to develop an animal physically after birth. Changes include cell growth and differentiation which is controlled by hormones synthesized by endocrine glands. Metamorphosis is iodothyronine-induced and an ancestral feature of chordates and the word derives from Greek.
Fishes, crustaceans, echinoderms, and insects are the examples which undergo metamorphosis. In both bony fish and jawless fish undergoes typical metamorphosis under the influence of thyroid hormone.
Types of Metamorphosis:
· Complete Metamorphosis: In this process larva completely changes into adult. Example- butterfly
· In complete Metamorphosis: In this process only some parts of the animals body change during metamorphosis. Example-Cockroaches, grasshoppers.
Biochemistry and Modern Applications is a peer reviewed Journal, with rapid publication process. The topics like DNA polymerases, Heterochromatin, Ribosome, Non-coding DNA, Cell biology, Metabolism, Nutritional Biochemistry, Medicinal Biochemistry and Hormonal Biochemistry are studied. This is not just limited to above areas. The knowledge related to different biomolecules and their mechanisms can be studied in the journal of Biochemistry and modern applications. This journal provides an open access platform for the young scientists and researchers to share their valuable information regarding the biomolecules and their mechanism.
