Autozygous
Biology; Genetics
Of individuals whose alleles at a locus are identical by descent from the same ancestral allele.
Transcription
Biology; Genetics
Transcription is the process of creating an equivalent RNA copy of a sequence of DNA(1). Both RNA and DNA are nucleic acids, which use base pairs of nucleotides as a complementary language that can ...
Double helix
Biology; Genetics
A pair of parallel helices intertwined about a common axis: the postulated structure of the DNA molecule
Gene expression
Biology; Genetics
Gene expression is the process by which information from a gene is used in the synthesis of a functional gene product. These products are often proteins, but in non-protein coding genes such as rRNA ...
Homozygous
Biology; Genetics
Of an organism in which both copies of a given gene have the same allele.
Nullizygous
Biology; Genetics
Of an organism carrying two mutant loss-of-function alleles for the same gene.
