Bio Term biparental zygote is A Chlamydomonas zygote that contains chloroplast DNA (cpDNA) from both parents, such cells generally are rare since normally cpDNA is inherited uniparentally from the mt+ mating type parent. These rare biparental zygotes allowed mapping of chloroplast genes by recombination.

Bio Term secondary structure is The alpha-helical or beta-sheet configuration of the polypeptide backbone of a protein.

Bio Term cosegregation is The tendency for closely linked genes and genetic markers to segregate (be inherited) together.

Bio Term crop is In vertebrates, it is an expanded part of the esophagus where food is stored while in invertebrates it is an expansion of the anterior part of the gut system where food is either digested or stored.

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.
