Bio Term Temperate phage is A phage that is capable of becoming a prophage in the bacterial host (i.e. maintain itself in a relatively quiescent state). Improperly but frequently called a lysogenic phage.

Bio Term Cold sensitive mutant is A mutation that results in a gene product that is active at a high temperature (e.g. 42C) but inactive at low temperatures (e.g. 30C). Cold sensitive mutations often affect hydrophobic interactions between protein complexes or between proteins and membrane componants.

Bio Term dorsal aorta is an artery of the mammalian blood circulatory system that carries oxygenated blood from the heart down the length of the trunk, giving rise to several branches to individual body organs.

Bio Term allozyme is Form of an enzyme that differs in amino acid sequence, as shown by electrophoretic mobility or some other property, from other forms of the same enzyme and is encoded by one allele at a single locus. See isozymes.

Bio Term Cohesive ends is Single-stranded complementary sequences at two ends of a DNA molecule (examples include the ends of the linear phage lambda chromosome, and the ends resulting from digestion of DNA with many restriction endonucleases).
