Bio Term transposable genetic element is A general term for any genetic unit that can insert into a chromosome, exit, and relocate; includes insertion sequences, transposons, some bacteriophages, and controlling element. A region of the genome, flanked by inverted repeats, a copy of which can be inserted at another place; also called a transposon or a jumping gene.Bio Term Southern blot is Transfer of electrophoretically separated fragments of DNA, after denaturation, from the gel to an absorbent sheet of material, such as nitrocellulose, to which the DNA binds. The sheet is immersed in a solution containing a labeled probe that will hybridize to fragment(s) of interest. The method was first devised by E. M. Southern to transfer DNA fragments from an agarose gel to a nitrocellulose paper for hybridization, but similar transfer methods are now also used for transfering RNA or protein to papers of a variety of types followed by hybridization (RNA) or labeled antibody treatment (protein) to identify specific molecules.
Bio Term syngamy is The process of cellular union during fertilization.
Bio Term polar mutation is A mutation that affects the transcription or translation of part of the gene or operon downstream of the mutant site. For example, nonsense mutations, frameshift mutations, and insertion sequence(IS)-induced mutations.
Bio Term Streptomycin is An antibiotic that inhibits protein synthesis in bacteria by binding to the S12 protein of the 30s ribosomal subunit and inhibiting translation. A high level of StrR can result from chromosomal mutations in the gene for the S12 protein (rpsL) which preven
