Bio Term heritability is A measure of the degree to which the variance in the distribution of a phenotype is due to genetic causes. In the broad sense it is measured by the total genetic variance divided by the total phenotypic variance. In the narrow sense it is measured by the genetic variance due to additive genes divided by the total phenotypic variance.

Bio Term uniparental inheritance is The transmission of certain phenotypes from one parental type to all the progeny; such inheritance is generally produced by organelle (mitochondria, chloroplast) genes.

Bio Term ectopic expression is The occurrence of gene expression in a tissue in which it is normally not expressed. Such ectopic expression can be caused by the juxtaposition of novel enhancer elements to a gene during genetic manipulation of transgenic organisms.

Bio Term permissive condition is Environmental condition under which a conditional mutation shows the wild-type phenotype.

Bio Term acentric chromosome is A chromosome having no centromere.
