Parent topics
- Biology [r]: The science of life — of complex, self-organizing, information-processing systems living in the past, present or future. [e]
- Genetics [r]: The study of the inheritance of characteristics, genes and DNA. [e]
Subtopics
- Lactose intolerance [r]: Due to a decrease of the lactase enzyme in cells lining the small intestine of adults and a concomitant inability to break down or metabolize lactose. [e]
- Allele [r]: A specific sequence of a gene, and one of a pair in a diploid cell (one per chromosome). [e]
- DNA [r]: A macromolecule — chemically, a nucleic acid — that stores genetic information. [e]
- Dihybrid cross [r]: A cross in genetics between two individuals identically heterozygous at two loci, for example, AaBb x AaBb. [e]
- Gene [r]: The functional unit of heredity. [e]
- Genotype [r]: Genetic makeup, as distinguished from the physical appearance, of an organism or a group of organisms, based on a combination of alleles located on homologous chromosomes that determines a specific characteristic or trait. [e]
- Mutation [r]: Changes to the DNA sequence that cause new genetic variation. [e]
- Natural selection [r]: The differential survival and/or reproduction of classes of entities that differ in one or more characteristics [e]
- Plant breeding [r]: The purposeful manipulation of plant species in order to create desired genotypes and phenotypes for specific purposes, such as food production, forestry, and horticulture. [e]
- RNA interference [r]: Process that inhibits the flow of genetic information to protein synthesis. [e]
- Race (biology) [r]: Inbreeding group marked by a pre-determined profile of latent factors of hereditary traits. [e]
- Heterosis [r]: An observable phenomenon in which hybrid plants or animals may exhibit greater yields, health or faster rate of growth than their inbred parents. [e]
- Smallpox [r]: A contagious infectious disease, caused by Variola major, which has been eradicated from the wild; its reappearance would almost certainly be biological warfare and a worldwide crisis [e]
- Environment (biology) [r]: In general, the immediate surrounding of a biological unit at distances that differ in size from that of the unit by only very few orders of magnitude. [e]
