Other Similar Biology Terms:

Bio Term Telomere is The terminal part of a linear chromosome. Replication of the ends of linear DNA molecules requires specialized enzymes or structures. Often the telomers have a DNA sequence with a single-stranded end that can fold into a hairpin structure.

Bio Term Homology is (i) Sequence identity between two nucleotide sequences. (ii) Genetic relatedness between two sequences of common ancestry. Commonly confused with sequence similarity. For example, 85% similarity means that 85 nucleotide positions out of 100 are identical in the two polynucleotides.

Bio Term lacunae is One of many small cavities uniformly spaced along the lamellae of bones. In living bone, each lacuna contains one bone cell known as an osteocyte. Small canals (canaliculi) radiate from the lacunae and in these are small protoplasmic processes that conn ect with the osteoblast in other lacunae.

Bio Term retinoblastoma is A cancer of the human retina. Predisposition to retinoblastoma is inherited as an autosomal dominant. A childhood cancer of retinoblast cells caused by the inactivation of an anti-oncogene.

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.
