Noun |
||
| gene - (genetics) a segment of DNA that is involved in producing a polypeptide chain; it can include regions preceding and following the coding DNA as well as introns between the exons; it is considered a unit of heredity; "genes were formerly called factors" | ||
| cistron, factor | ||
| sequence film consisting of a succession of related shots that develop a given subject in a movie | ||
| deoxyribonucleic acid, desoxyribonucleic acid, dna (biochemistry) a long linear polymer found in the nucleus of a cell and formed from nucleotides and shaped like a double helix; associated with the transmission of genetic information; "DNA is the king of molecules" | ||
| chromosome a threadlike strand of DNA in the cell nucleus that carries the genes in a linear order; "humans have 22 chromosome pairs plus two sex chromosomes" | ||
| genetic science, genetics the branch of biology that studies heredity and variation in organisms | ||
| molecular biology the branch of biology that studies the structure and activity of macromolecules essential to life (and especially with their genetic role) | ||
| dominant gene gene that produces the same phenotype in the organism whether or not its allele identical; "the dominant gene for brown eyes" | ||
| allele, allelomorph (genetics) either of a pair (or series) of alternative forms of a gene that can occupy the same locus on a particular chromosome and that control the same character; "some alleles are dominant over others" | ||
| genetic marker a specific gene that produces a recognizable trait and can be used in family or population studies | ||
| homeotic gene one the genes that are involved in embryologic development | ||
| lethal gene any gene that has an effect that causes the death of the organism at any stage of life | ||
| linkage group, linked genes any pair of genes that tend to be transmitted together; "the genes of Drosophila fall into four linkage groups" | ||
| modifier gene, modifier a gene that modifies the effect produced by another gene | ||
| mutant gene a gene that has changed so that the normal transmission and expression of a trait is affected | ||
| nonallele genes that are not competitors at the same locus | ||
| operator gene a gene that activates the production of messenger RNA by adjacent structural genes | ||
| oncogene, transforming gene a gene that disposes normal cells to change into cancerous tumor cells | ||
| polygene a gene that by itself has little effect on the phenotype but which can act together with others to produce observable variations | ||
| proto-oncogene a normal gene that has the potential to become an oncogene | ||
| recessive gene gene that produces its characteristic phenotype only when its allele is identical; "the recessive gene for blue eyes" | ||
| regulator gene, regulatory gene a gene that produces a repressor substance that inhibits an operator gene | ||
| repressor gene gene that prevents a nonallele from being transcribed | ||
| structural gene a gene that controls the production of a specific protein or peptide | ||
| suppresser gene, suppressor gene, suppresser, suppressor an electrical device for suppressing unwanted currents | ||
| transgene an exogenous gene introduced into the genome of another organism | ||
| x-linked gene a gene located on an X chromosome | ||
