Bio Term sex reversal is A syndrome known in humans and mice in which chromosomally XX individuals develop as males. In some cases, sex reversal is now known to be due to the translocation of the testis-determining region of the Y chromosome to the tip of the X chromosome in such individuals.
Bio Term Attenuation is A mechanism of regulating the level of transcription by interfering with mRNA elongation. Slowed translation through a regulatory region allows formation of a RNA secondary structure that promotes transcription termination. Requires coupled transcription and translation and thus is restricted to prokaryotes. Two examples of genes regulated by attenuation include the trp and his operons in E. coli.
Bio Term Gamete is One of the sex cells. In animals these are the egg and sperm. In plants the pollen or ovum (egg).
