The phrase “P value” also means ‘calculated probability’. P value is defined as the probability of finding the observed, or more extreme, results when the null hypothesis (H 0) of a study question is true. P value is also described in terms of rejecting the null hypothesis (H0) when it is actually true. The null

Prokaryotic cells are microbial cells that have chromosomes that are not separated from the cytoplasm by a membrane. Prokaryotic cells are different from eukaryotic cells. They are cells that lack a nucleus and other membrane-enclosed organelles like mitochondrion and chloroplast et cetera. Thus everything inside the cell of a prokaryote is openly accessible within the
Biotechnology uses the tools of molecular biology (i.e. genetic engineering) to produce novel products through the sole manipulation and modification of the genes and gene products of living systems including microorganisms. It borrows scientific expertise from a wide array of disciplines including but not limited to biochemistry, biology, genetics, chemistry, microbiology and molecular biology. Microbial

Axenic animals are laboratory controlled animals that are germ-free i.e. animals that are not contaminated with any microorganisms and are devoid of any microflora. Such animals can also be called Gnotobiotic animals. Gnotobiotic or Axenic animals have tremendous medical research applications. The microflora from axenic animals help scientists to elucidate the relationship that exist between
