Genetic engineering
Inbreeding
Biotechnology; Genetic engineering
Matings between individuals that have one or more ancestors in common, the extreme condition being self-fertilization, which occurs in many plants and some primitive animals.
Complementary nucleotides
Biotechnology; Genetic engineering
Members of the pairs adenine-thymine, adenine-uracil, and guanine-cytosine that have the ability to hydrogen bond to one another.
Micro-isolating system
Biotechnology; Genetic engineering
Mechanical separation of single cells or protoplasts thus allowing them to proliferate individually.
Cross-breeding
Biotechnology; Genetic engineering
Mating between members of different populations (lines, breeds, races or species).
Primary meristem
Biotechnology; Genetic engineering
Meristem of the shoot or root tip giving rise to the primary plant body.
Assortative mating
Biotechnology; Genetic engineering
Mating in which the partners are chosen on the basis of phenotypic similarity.
Discordant
Biotechnology; Genetic engineering
Members of a pair showing different, rather than similar, characteristics.
