Other Similar Biology Terms:
Bio Term variable-number-of-tandem-repeats (VNTR) locus is locus that is hypervariable because of tandemly repeated DNA sequences. Presumably variability is generated by unequal crossing over or slippage during replication. A chromosomal locus at which a particular repetitive sequence is present in different numbers in different individuals of a population or in the two different chromosome homologues in one diploid individual.Bio Term gastrulation is The process of movements and infoldings of embryonic cells destined to become endoderm in early animal embryos, immediately following blastula (or blastoderm) stage, generating the blastopore.
Bio Term mapping function is The mathematical relationship between measured map distance and actual recombination frequency. A formula expressing the relationship between distance in a linkage map and recombinant frequency.
Bio Term codon preference is The idea that for amino acids with several codons one or a few are preferred and are used disproportionately. They would correspond with tRNAs that are abundant.
Bio Term Deletion mapping is The use of deletion mutations to determine the position of overlapping point mutations for fine structure mapping of a genetic locus.
