Bio Term RNA in situ hybridization is A technique that is used to identify the spatial pattern of expression of a particular transcript (usually an mRNA). In this technique, the probe is labeled, either radioactively or by chemically attaching a fluorochrome visualised by fluorescence or an enzyme that can convert a substrate to a visible dye. A tissue or organism is soaked in a solution of single-stranded probe under conditions that allow the probe to hybridize to complementary RNA sequences in the cells; unhybridized probe is then removed. Radioactive probe is detected by autoradiography. Fluorochrome is detected by fluorescence microscopy. Enzyme labeled probe is detected by soaking the tissue in the substrate; the dye develops in sites where the transcript of interest was expressed.

Bio Term primase is An enzyme that creates an RNA primer for initiation of DNA replication.

Bio Term flagellum is A whiplike structure projecting from the surface of some cells and single-celled organisms; coordinated waving of the flagellum allows the organism to swim. Prokaryotic flagella are made of a single helical chain of flagellin proteins; eukaryotic flagella

Bio Term Lytic growth or lytic cycle is A phage infection where the phage replicates, matures, and ultimately lyses the bacterial cell, releasing free phage.
