Other Similar Biology Terms:

Bio Term intron (intervening sequence) is A DNA segment of largely unknown function within a gene that specifically interupts the coding (exon) sequences of that gene. Introns are transcribed as part of the normal gene primary transcript, but intron sequences are not found in the functional mRNA. Intron sequences are removed from the primary transcript by a splicing mechanism.

Bio Term crossing over is the reciprocal exchange of genetic material between non-sister chromatids during synapsis of meiosis I.

Bio Term immunity is The ability of an organism to resist infection.

Bio Term Platelet is Small cell-fragment involved in forming blood clots at wound sites.

Bio Term Antimutator is A mutation that decreases the overall mutation rate, often by modifying DNA polymerase.
