Most of the time, visa applications are done in embassies. For Schengen visa application, especially if you will be mainly staying in the Netherlands, Poland, or Latvia, your application will be processed by an application center. In the Philippines, Schengen visa application for these countries are outsourced to VFS Global (VFS stands for Visa Facilitation Services).  VFS Global application center is located in Makati city. Their full address is:  Ecoplaza Building, Mezzanine Floor Don Chino Roces Ave, Extension, Makati 1231 Kalakhang Maynila, Philippines ●  Schedule an appointment Before going to VFS Global, you need to schedule an appointment online.

Environmental Factors Affecting Growth and Development

Phenotypic characters are not only an expression of inherited genes, rather they are influenced by environmental factors as well. Environmental factors that influence phenotypic expression can be temperature, diet, and presence of predators. I - Phenotypic plasticity Phenotypic plasticity is the ability of an organism to react to an environmental input with a change in form, state, movement, or rate of activity. There are two main types of phenotypic plasticity: reaction norm and polyphemism. A. Reaction norm In reaction norm, the genome encodes a range of potential phenotypes, and the environment that the individual is exposed to determines what phenotype should be expressed.  B. Polyphemism The genome only encodes for the phenotype that would best suit the organism in the environment it is in. The environmental factors that usually influences the organism's phenotype are temperature, diet, and presence of predator. 1. Temperature-induced polyphemism ...

Gene expression: Prokaryotes

By -
Image
Gene expression is  the molecular process by which DNA  is converted into a functional product called proteins[1]. The two key steps in the production of proteins is Transcription (DNA to RNA) and Translation (RNA to proteins)[1][2]. The processes are different in prokaryotes and eukaryotes. PROKARYOTIC GENE EXPRESSION Transcription a) Initiation In prokaryotes, like bacteria, the chromosome is a covalently-closed circle. For transcription to occur, the DNA double helix must partially unwind. The unwound region is called the transcription bubble . A holoenzyme (a fully functioning enzyme) and promoter is necessary for the initiation of transcription[3]. Prokaryotic RNA polymerase  is the holoenzyme which assembles each time a gene is transcribed, and disassembles once transcription is complete. It is composed of 5 polypeptide subunits. These subunits are α, α, β, β', and σ[3]. α-subunits are used to assemble the polymerase on the DNA ...
