Bio Term polymorphism is The occurrence in a population (or among populations) of several phenotypic forms associated with alleles of one gene or homologs of one chromosome. See genetic polymorphism.Bio Term Thr is Threonine (an amino acid).
Bio Term variable-number-of-tandem-repeats (VNTR) locus is locus that is hypervariable because of tandemly repeated DNA sequences. Presumably variability is generated by unequal crossing over or slippage during replication. A chromosomal locus at which a particular repetitive sequence is present in different numbers in different individuals of a population or in the two different chromosome homologues in one diploid individual.
Bio Term DNA glycosylase is endonuclease initiating excision repair at various damaged or improper bases in DNA.
Bio Term generalized transduction is The ability of certain phages to transduce any gene in the bacterial chromosome. Form of transduction in which any region of the host genome can be transduced. See specialized transduction.
