Bio Term Bacteriostatic is A condition which prevents the growth of bacteria without killing them.

Bio Term non-Mendelian ratio is An unusual ratio of progeny phenotypes that does not reflect the simple operation of Mendels laws; for example, mutant:wild-type ratios of 3:5, 5:3, 6:2, or 2:6 in tetrads indicate that gene conversion has occurred.

Bio Term omentum (pl. omenta) is A membrane that joins one internal organ to another.

Bio Term dosage compensation is A mechanism by which species with sex chromosomes ensure that the homogametic sex does not have too much or the heterogametic sex too little activity of loci on the homogametic sex chromosome. The process, in organisms using a chromosomal sex determination mechanism (such as XX versus XY), that allows standard structural genes on the homogametic sex chromosome to be expressed at the same levels in females and males, regardless of the number of homogametic sex chromosomes. In mammals, dosage compensation operates by maintaining only a single active X chromosome in each cell (see Lyon hypothesis), while in Drosophila it operates by hyperactivating the single male X chromosome.

Bio Term transgenic organism is An organism whose genome has been modified by introduction of novel DNA.
