Bio Term In situ hybridization is A technique for gene mapping involving hybridization of a labelled sample of a cloned gene to a large DNA molecule (usually a chromosome), often within a cell.

Bio Term veins is Vessels which carry blood back to the heart from the tissues. Veins are thin walled and will collapse if empty. They have a series of one-way valves to prevent blood from flowing backwards.

Bio Term Ampicillin (Amp) is An antibiotic that inhibits crosslinking of peptidoglycan chains in the cell wall of eubacteria. Cells growing in the presence of ampicillin synthesize weak cell walls, causing them to burst due to the high internal osmotic pressure. Amp resistance encoded by most transposons and plasmids is due to a periplasmic Beta-lactamase that breaks the Beta-lactam ring of ampicillin. Ampicillin is a derivative of penicillin.

Bio Term codominance is A phenomenon in which two alleles of the same gene are fully expressed in the phenotype when both are present in a heterozygote. Blood type is an example of codominance.
