Bio Term polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is A powerful method for amplifying specific DNA segments which exploits certain features of DNA replication. For instance replication requires a primer and specificity is determined by the sequence and size of the primer. The method amplifies specific DNA segments by cycles of template denaturation; primer addition; primer annealing and replication using thermostable DNA polymerase. The degree of amplification achieved is set at a theoretical maximum of 2^N, where N is the number of cycles, eg 20 cycles gives a theoretical 1048576 fold amplification.

Bio Term half-chromatid conversion is A type of gene conversion that is inferred from the existence of non-identical sister spores in a fungal octad showing a non-Mendelian allele ratio.

Bio Term chlorenchyma is plant parenchyma cells that contain chloroplasts in their cytoplasm.

Bio Term harlequin chromosome is Sister chromatids that stain differently, so that one appears dark and the other light (harlequin-like).

Bio Term Antibiotic is A substance that interfers with a particular step of cellular metabolism, causing either bactericidal or bacteriostatic inhibition; sometimes restricted to those having a natural biological origin.
