Well the soil classification is usually done on the basis of particle sizes and composition of soil.

<span>Clay </span>usually consists of particles less than 0.075 mm in size. It is a sticky soil and shows great changes in volume with variation in its water contact. It also shows considerable strength when air dried.

<span>Silt </span>has larger particles than clay and are mainly inorganic in nature. The particle size is less than 0.075mm and exhibits slightly plastic or non plastic behaviour.

Humus is soil consisting of dead and decaying organic matter. It is mainly organic in content but some inorganic particles may be mixed in it. The top soil in a tropical forest may be considered as humus.

zlopas [31]

During the process of gene expression, the DNA to RNA step is known as transcription while the RNA to protein step is known as translation.

Gene expression is a process which involves the synthesis of a functional gene product by using the information present in the genes.

Transcription is a process which involves the synthesis of a RNA from the DNA. In eukaryotic cells, the transcription occurs in the nucleus whereas in prokaryotes the transcription occurs in the cytoplasm of the cell.

Translation is the process by which the RNA is converted into a protein. The translation in prokaryotic cells occurs in the cytosol of the cell whereas in eukaryotic cells, the translation occurs in the ribosomes.
