Bio Term virus is A particle consisting of a nucleic acid (RNA or DNA) genome surrounded by a protein coat (capsid) and sometimes also a membrane, which can replicate only after infecting a host cell. A virus particle may exist free of its host cell but is incapable of replicating on its own.Bio Term inosine is A rare base that is important at the wobble (3rd) position of some tRNA anticodons.
Bio Term autotrophs is An organism able to build all the complex organic molecules that it requires as its own food source, using only simple inorganic compounds. Plants, and some bacteria are autotrophs.
Bio Term covariance is A statistical measure used in computing the correlation coefficient between two variables; the covariance is the mean of (x- x(bar))(y-y(bar)) over all pairs of values for the variables x and y, where x(bar) is the mean of the x values and y(bar) is the mean of the y values. A statistical value measuring the simultaneous deviations of x and y variables from their means.
Bio Term Same-sense mutation is A mutation which changes the nucleotide sequence of a codon but does not change the amino acid encoded due to the degeneracy of the genetic code. For example, both CCC and CCA encode proline.
