Bio Term polysome is The configuration of several ribosomes simultaneously translating the same mRNA. Shortened form of the term polyribosome.Bio Term homologous chromosomes is Members of a pair of essentially identical chromosomes that synapse during meiosis. Chromosomes that pair with each other at meiosis or chromosomes in different species that have retained most of the same genes during their evolution from a common ancestor.
Bio Term intragenic suppression is A second mutation within a mutant gene that results in an apparent restoration of the original phenotype.
Bio Term Colicin is A polypeptide secreted by bacteria which inhibit or prevent the growth of related bacteria which lack the corresponding colicin immunity proteins. Colicins are encoded by a group of naturally occurring plasmids first found in E. coli (e.g., the Col E1 plasmid). Colicins kill other bacteria by a variety of mechanisms depending on the type of colicin -- some colicins block protein synthesis, some colicins induce the degradation of chromosomal DNA, some colicins form transmembrane holes in the cytoplasmic membrane, etc.
Bio Term ClB method is A technique devised by Muller to rapidly screen fruit flies for recessive X chromosome lethal mutations. The ClB chromosome carries a recessive lethal (l) a dominant marker (B) and an inversion (crossover suppressor C).
