Suppressor Mutation At Biology Glossary
What is it? A mutation that restores, partially or completely, the loss of function caused by another mutation. Many suppressor mutations are in genes encoding a transfer RNA species; the altered tRNA can recognise the original mutant codon and, during translation, iBio Definition Added By: Jacob

Bio Term corepressor is The metabolite that when bound to the repressor (of a repressible operon) forms a functional unit that can bind to its operator and block transcription.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 semisterility (half sterility) is The phenotype of individuals heterozygotic for certain types of chromosome aberration; expressed as a reduced number of viable gametes and hence reduced fertility. Nonviability of a proportion of gametes or zygotes.
Bio Term Reciprocal recombination is A precise exchange of genetic information like that expected for a simple cut, exchange, and rejoin mechanism. That is, a region of DNA simply moves from the donor molecule to the recipient molecule in exchange for the identical region from the recipient
Bio Term position effect is Used to describe a situation in which the phenotype expressed by a gene is altered by changes in the position of the gene within the genome. For instance genes translocated to regions of heterochromatin are often not expressed.
