Other Similar Biology Terms:
Bio Term spacer DNA is Regions of non-transcribed DNA between transcribed repeated genes such as ribosomal RNA genes in eukaryotes. Its function is probably to do with ensuring the high rates of transcription associated with these genes.Bio Term assortative mating is The mating of individuals with similar phenotypes.
Bio Term Frameshift is A mutation which adds or deletes one or two base pairs (or any non-multiple of 3) from a coding sequence in a molecule of DNA, so that the genetic code is read out-of-phase. All codons translated downstream of a frameshift mutation will be misread, and frequently an out-of-frame stop codon will prematurely terminate translation.
Bio Term mutant allele is An allele differing from the allele found in the standard or wild type organism.
Bio Term generalized transduction is The ability of certain phages to transduce any gene in the bacterial chromosome. Form of transduction in which any region of the host genome can be transduced. See specialized transduction.
