Bio Term sex-limited trait is Trait expressed in only one sex. It may be controlled by sex linked or autosomal loci.Bio Term megaspore is The larger of two types of spores produced by many ferns and seed plants. The megaspore gives rise to a female gametophyte in ferns and in seed plants, and in flowering plants becomes the embryo sac.
Bio Term gene conversion is A meiotic process of directed change in which one allele directs the conversion of a partner allele to its own form. In asci of Ascomycete fungi a 4:4 ratio of alleles is expected after meiosis, yet 6:2 and 5:3 ratios are sometimes observed. A model of recombination, produced by Holliday, suggests that gene conversion may be explained by repair of heteroduplex DNA.
Bio Term Restriction is The cleavage of double-stranded DNA by an endonuclease (restriction enzyme). The restriction enzyme distinguishes between self and foreign DNA based upon the modification of its DNA-binding site (for example, by methylation).
Bio Term opal codon is The codon UGA, a nonsense codon.
