Bio Term signal hypothesis is The major mechanism whereby proteins that insert into or cross a membrane are synthesized by a membrane-bound ribosome. The first thirteen to thirty-six amino acids synthesized, termed a signal peptide, are recognized by a signal recognition particle that draws the ribosome to the membrane surface by interaction with a docking protein. The signal peptide may later be removed from the protein.

Bio Term prokaryotes is an organism that is either a bacterium or a blue-green alga, its main characteristic being prokaryotic cells lacking a membrane-bound nucleus and no mitosis or meiosis.

Bio Term cap is A methylated guanine residue added in reverse polarity (ie 3pMeG5ppp5NpNp3) to the 5 end of eukaryotic mRNA during transcription initiation. The cap binds a cap binding protein and acts as an initial binding site for ribosomes during translation.

Bio Term satellite DNA is DNA that forms a separate band in a bouyant density gradient because of its different nucleotide composition (A:T rich DNAs are less dense than G:C rich DNAs). Highly repetitive eukaryotic DNA primarily located around centromeres. Satellite DNA usually has a different buoyant density than the rest of the cells DNA.

Bio Term segregational load is Genetic load caused when a population is segregating less fit homozygotes because of heterozygote advantage.
