Bio Term Primosome is A complex of primase and helicase that initiates synthesis of RNA primers on the lagging DNA strand during DNA replication.

Bio Term catabolism is A type of metabolism in which biochemical processes taking place in a cell result in the breaking down of complex compounds into simpler ones to release energy.

Bio Term sickle-cell anemia is Potentially lethal human disease, inherited as an autosomal recessive, caused by a mutation in a gene coding for the beta subunit of the oxygen-transporting protein haemoglobin. Under conditions of low oxygen tension, the altered beta-globin molecule causes haemoglobin to aggregate forming rod-like arrays that distort the cell membrane forcing red blood cells to become sickle-shaped. The sickled red blood cells are damaged and rapidly removed from the circulation causing anaemia.

Bio Term P element is A Drosophila transposable element that has been used as a tool for insertion mutagenesis and for germline transformation.
