Two or more types of individuals maintained in the same breeding population.
Industry:Biotechnology
Two parallel bushlike filaments situated in the centromere of a chromosome.
Industry:Biotechnology
Two regions of a nucleic acid molecule which have the same nucleotide sequence but in an inverted orientation, such as
5´ GCACTTG... ...CAAGTGC 3´
3´ CGTGAAC... ...GTTCACG 5´
Because they contain exactly the same message when read in either direction, inverted repeats are said to be palindromes.
Industry:Biotechnology
Two simultaneous reciprocal breakage and reunion events between the same two chromatids.
Industry:Biotechnology
Two-egg twins, i.e., a pair of individuals that shared the same uterus at the same time, but which arose from separate and independent fertilization of two ova.
Industry:Biotechnology
Type of biosensor in which a biological process is harnessed to an electrical sensor system, such as an enzyme electrode. Other types couple a biological event to an electrical one via a range of mechanisms, such as those based on oxygen and pH.
Industry:Biotechnology
Type of growth characterized by an increase in thickness of stem and root and resulting from formation of secondary vascular tissues by the vascular cambium.
Industry:Biotechnology
Type of vegetative propagation where lateral buds grow out to produce an individual that is a clone of the parent.
Industry:Biotechnology
Typically, a proliferating virus, bacterium or parasite that causes a disease in plants or animals.
