Bio Term prophase is The early stage of nuclear division during which chromosomes condense and become visible. The initial stage of mitosis or meiosis in which chromosomes become visible and the spindle apparatus forms.Bio Term nonsense suppressor is A mutation in the anticodon of tRNA that alters the anticodon so it is now complementary to a nonsense codon allowing the tRNA to insert its cognate amino acid at this nonsense codon during translation.
Bio Term RNA in situ hybridization is A technique that is used to identify the spatial pattern of expression of a particular transcript (usually an mRNA). In this technique, the probe is labeled, either radioactively or by chemically attaching a fluorochrome visualised by fluorescence or an enzyme that can convert a substrate to a visible dye. A tissue or organism is soaked in a solution of single-stranded probe under conditions that allow the probe to hybridize to complementary RNA sequences in the cells; unhybridized probe is then removed. Radioactive probe is detected by autoradiography. Fluorochrome is detected by fluorescence microscopy. Enzyme labeled probe is detected by soaking the tissue in the substrate; the dye develops in sites where the transcript of interest was expressed.
Bio Term constitutive mutation is A mutation which causes transcription to be no longer under regulatory control.
Bio Term gymnosperm is A vascular nonflowering plant (commonly known as a conifer) in which seeds are nakedcollected in a cone and not protected by an ovary. The dispersion of their spermatozoids often relies on wind.
