Biology
Biology is the natural science that studies life and living organisms, including their physical structure, chemical composition, function, development and evolution.

Complementation (genetics)
In genetics, complementation occurs when two strains of an organism with different homozygous recessive mutations that produce the same mutant phenotype (for example, a change in wing structure in flies) produce offspring with the wild-type phenotype when mated or crossed.

Dominance (genetics)
Dominance in genetics is a relationship between alleles of one gene, in which the effect on phenotype of one allele masks the contribution of a second allele at the same locus.

Gene
In biology, a gene is a sequence of DNA or RNA that codes for a molecule that has a function.
New!!: Cistron and Gene · See more »
Genome
In the fields of molecular biology and genetics, a genome is the genetic material of an organism.
New!!: Cistron and Genome · See more »
Locus (genetics)
A locus (plural loci) in genetics is a fixed position on a chromosome, like the position of a gene or a marker (genetic marker).

Mutation
In biology, a mutation is the permanent alteration of the nucleotide sequence of the genome of an organism, virus, or extrachromosomal DNA or other genetic elements.

Operon
In genetics, an operon is a functioning unit of DNA containing a cluster of genes under the control of a single promoter.
New!!: Cistron and Operon · See more »
Phenotype
A phenotype is the composite of an organism's observable characteristics or traits, such as its morphology, development, biochemical or physiological properties, behavior, and products of behavior (such as a bird's nest).
New!!: Cistron and Phenotype · See more »
Ploidy
Ploidy is the number of complete sets of chromosomes in a cell, and hence the number of possible alleles for autosomal and pseudoautosomal genes.
New!!: Cistron and Ploidy · See more »
RNA
Ribonucleic acid (RNA) is a polymeric molecule essential in various biological roles in coding, decoding, regulation, and expression of genes.

Seymour Benzer
Seymour Benzer (October 15, 1921 – November 30, 2007) was an American physicist, molecular biologist and behavioral geneticist.

Synonym
A synonym is a word or phrase that means exactly or nearly the same as another word or phrase in the same language.
New!!: Cistron and Synonym · See more »
Transcription (biology)
Transcription is the first step of gene expression, in which a particular segment of DNA is copied into RNA (especially mRNA) by the enzyme RNA polymerase.

Wild type
Wild type (WT) refers to the phenotype of the typical form of a species as it occurs in nature.
New!!: Cistron and Wild type · See more »
Zygosity
Zygosity is the degree of similarity of the alleles for a trait in an organism.
