Difference between Gene and X-inactivation

Gene vs. X-inactivation

In biology, a gene is a sequence of DNA or RNA that codes for a molecule that has a function. X-inactivation (also called lyonization) is a process by which one of the copies of the X chromosome present in female mammals is inactivated.

Similarities between Gene and X-inactivation

Gene and X-inactivation have 20 things in common (in Unionpedia): Allele, Cell cycle, Cell nucleus, DNA, DNA replication, Embryo, Epigenetics, Gene product, Genotype, Germ cell, Histone, Meiosis, Non-coding RNA, Nucleosome, Phenotypic trait, Regulation of gene expression, RNA, Transcription (biology), Translation (biology), Zygosity.

Allele

An allele is a variant form of a given gene.

Cell cycle

The cell cycle or cell-division cycle is the series of events that take place in a cell leading to its division and duplication of its DNA (DNA replication) to produce two daughter cells.

Cell nucleus

In cell biology, the nucleus (pl. nuclei; from Latin nucleus or nuculeus, meaning kernel or seed) is a membrane-enclosed organelle found in eukaryotic cells.

DNA

Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is a thread-like chain of nucleotides carrying the genetic instructions used in the growth, development, functioning and reproduction of all known living organisms and many viruses.

DNA replication

In molecular biology, DNA replication is the biological process of producing two identical replicas of DNA from one original DNA molecule.

Embryo

An embryo is an early stage of development of a multicellular diploid eukaryotic organism.

Epigenetics

Epigenetics is the study of heritable changes in gene function that do not involve changes in the DNA sequence.

Gene product

A gene product is the biochemical material, either RNA or protein, resulting from expression of a gene.

Genotype

The genotype is the part of the genetic makeup of a cell, and therefore of an organism or individual, which determines one of its characteristics (phenotype).

Germ cell

A germ cell is any biological cell that gives rise to the gametes of an organism that reproduces sexually.

Histone

In biology, histones are highly alkaline proteins found in eukaryotic cell nuclei that package and order the DNA into structural units called nucleosomes.

Meiosis

Meiosis (from Greek μείωσις, meiosis, which means lessening) is a specialized type of cell division that reduces the chromosome number by half, creating four haploid cells, each genetically distinct from the parent cell that gave rise to them.

Non-coding RNA

A non-coding RNA (ncRNA) is an RNA molecule that is not translated into a protein.

Nucleosome

A nucleosome is a basic unit of DNA packaging in eukaryotes, consisting of a segment of DNA wound in sequence around eight histone protein cores.

Phenotypic trait

A phenotypic trait, or simply trait, is a distinct variant of a phenotypic characteristic of an organism; it may be either inherited or determined environmentally, but typically occurs as a combination of the two.

Regulation of gene expression

Regulation of gene expression includes a wide range of mechanisms that are used by cells to increase or decrease the production of specific gene products (protein or RNA), and is informally termed gene regulation.

RNA

Ribonucleic acid (RNA) is a polymeric molecule essential in various biological roles in coding, decoding, regulation, and expression of genes.

Gene and RNA · RNA and X-inactivation · 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.

Gene and Transcription (biology) · Transcription (biology) and X-inactivation · See more »

Translation (biology)

In molecular biology and genetics, translation is the process in which ribosomes in the cytoplasm or ER synthesize proteins after the process of transcription of DNA to RNA in the cell's nucleus.

Zygosity

Zygosity is the degree of similarity of the alleles for a trait in an organism.

The list above answers the following questions

Gene and X-inactivation Comparison

Gene has 300 relations, while X-inactivation has 84. As they have in common 20, the Jaccard index is 5.21% = 20 / (300 + 84).
