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 exogenote is DNA that a bacterial cell has taken up through one of its sexual processes. See merozygote.

Bio Term Chi site is An 8-nucleotide DNA sequence (5 GCTGGTGG 3) which is a hot-spot for homologous recombination. When the RecBCD exonuclease encounters a chi site the RecD subunit is released and the RecBC complex then functions as a helicase, unwinding the DNA and providing single stranded which can invade a homologous region of double-stranded DNA. Chi sites typically occur about once every 5 kb on the chromosomes of enteric bacteria and most are oriented in the same direction as DNA replication.
Bio Term Chain-termination (nonsense or stop) codon is A codon signalling the termination of polypeptide synthesis. The three standard stop codons are UAG (amber), UAA (ochre), and UGA (opal).
