Bio Term Gradient of transfer is In an Hfr mating, the decrease in the inheritance of donor markers the farther they are from the origin of transfer.

Bio Term Coorperativity is For DNA binding proteins, cooperativity generally refers to the increased binding of a protein to a DNA site due to the prior binding of another protein nearby. (Note that more rigorous definations of cooperativity are sometimes used in biochemistry to refer to binding of small molecules, that can result in positive cooperativity (enhanced binding) and negative cooperativity (poorer binding) of a second molecule following binding of a first molecule.)
