Other Similar Biology Terms:
Bio Term Dominant is The phenotype that is observed when two alleles of a gene are present in a cell. The gene whose phenotype is expressed is the dominant allele and the allele whose phenotype is masked is the recessive allele. If the phenotype of the diploid is inte rmediate between that of the two haploid genes, then the alleles are co-dominant.Bio Term intercostal muscles is The muscles lying between the ribs of vertebrates that, with the ribs, form the walls of the thorax.
Bio Term trachea (pl. tracheae) is 1. the windpipe; that portion of the respiratory tube that has C-shaped cartilaginous rings and passes from the larynx to two bronchi. 2. tiny air tubes that ramify throughout the insect body for gas exchange. 3. in plants they make up part of the xylem tissue.
Bio Term adaptive landscape is The surface plotted in a three-dimensional graph; with all possible combinations of allele frequencies for different loci plotted in the plane; and mean fitness for each combination plotted in the third dimension.
Bio Term molecular imprinting is The phenomenon in which there is differential expression of a gene depending on whether it was maternally or paternally inherited. Paternal imprinting means that an allele inherited from the father is not expressed in offspring. Maternal imprinting means that an allele inherited from the mother is not expressed in offspring.
