Bio Term ORF (open reading frame) is A section of a sequenced piece of DNA that begins with an initiation (methionine ATG) codon and ends with a nonsense codon. ORFs all have the potential to encode a protein or polypeptide, however many may not actually do so.

Bio Term centriole is A short cylindrical organelle, found in pairs arranged at right angles to each other at the centre of a microtubule organizing centre (MTOC) or centrosome, found in eukaryotes (except in higher plants). A centriole is similar in structure to the basal body found at the base of eukaryotic cilia and flagella and organises the axoneme, the bundle of microtubules and other proteins forming the core of each cilium or flagellum. The centrosome organizes formation of a spindle during mitosis or meiosis.

Bio Term concordance is The amount of similarity in phenotype between individuals.

Bio Term amictic egg is A thin shelled diploid egg which cannot be fertilized. Instead, it develops by parthenogenesis. It is produced by rotifers when living conditions are optimal, and will develop to produce amictic females.

Bio Term Restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) is A mutation that results in a detectable change in the pattern of fragments obtained when a DNA molecule is cut with a restriction endonuclease.
