Bio Term complementation test is A mating test to determine whether two different recessive mutations (a1;a2) on opposite chromosomes (trans, a1+/+a2) of a diploid or partial diploid will not complement (ie have a mutant phenotype) each other; but the same two recessive mutations on the same chromosome (cis, a1a2/++) in a diploid or partial diploid show a wild-type phenotype; a test for allelism. A test to determine whether two mutant sites are in the same functional unit or gene.Bio Term gene fusion is The accidental joining of DNA of two genes, such as can occur in a translocation or inversion. Gene fusions can give rise to hybrid proteins or to the misregulation of the transcription of one gene by the cis regulatory elements (enhancers) of another.
Bio Term Stoma is A hole in the leaf through which gases diffuse.
Bio Term Sequence tagged site (STS) is Any site in a chromosome or genome that is identified by a known unique DNA sequence. STSs can be used to form genetic maps by standard mapping procedures.
