Parent topics
- Biology [r]: The science of life — of complex, self-organizing, information-processing systems living in the past, present or future. [e]
- Life [r]: Living systems, of which biologists seek the commonalities distinguishing them from non-living systems. [e]
- Cell (biology) [r]: The basic unit of life, consisting of biochemical networks enclosed by a membrane. [e]
- Genetics [r]: The study of the inheritance of characteristics, genes and DNA. [e]
Subtopics
- Allele [r]: A specific sequence of a gene, and one of a pair in a diploid cell (one per chromosome). [e]
- Exon [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Intron [r]: Non-coding sequence of nucleic acid that is between the expressed sequences (exons) in a gene. [e]
- Promotor [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Transposon [r]: Blocks of conserved DNA that can occasionally move to different positions within the chromosomes of a cell. [e]
- Transposons as a genetic tool [r]: Semi-parasitic DNA sequences which can replicate and spread through the host's genome. [e]
- Gene duplication [r]: The incorporation of the same gene into different parts of the genome of an organism. [e]
- Gene flow [r]: The movement of genetic alleles from one population to another. If there is a low gene flow between two populations they may become distinct species. [e]
- Genetic engineering [r]: The process of manipulating genes, usually outside the organism's normal reproductive process. [e]
- Genotype [r]: Genetic makeup, as distinguished from the physical appearance, of an organism or a group of organisms, based on a combination of alleles located on homologous chromosomes that determines a specific characteristic or trait. [e]
- Transgenic plant [r]: Plants that have been genetically modified by inserting genes directly into a single plant cell, from a different species. [e]
- Nucleic acid [r]: A class of macromolecules important in conveying genetic information. [e]
- DNA [r]: A macromolecule — chemically, a nucleic acid — that stores genetic information. [e]
- RNA [r]: A polymer, made using the nucleotides of adenosine, guanosine, uridine and cytidine, that is used for a variety of biological functions in living systems. [e]
- Chromosome [r]: A compact body of ribonucleic acid wrapped around proteins that is the unit in which genetic material is distributed during cell division. [e]
- Chromosome band [r]: A striped pattern observed on stained chromosomes. [e]
- Endosymbiotic theory [r]: Theory on the origins of mitochondria and plastids (e.g. chloroplasts), which are organelles of eukaryotic cells. [e]
- Epigenetics [r]: Modifications in a gene's activity, expression, and/or regulation that do not involve changes to the DNA sequence. It is possible for such differences to be inherited from one generation to the next. [e]
