an enzyme which brings about the formation of a particular polymer, especially DNA or RNA
the rearrangement of genetic material, especially by crossing over in chromosomes or by the artificial joining of segments of DNA from different organisms.
a complex organic substance present in living cells, especially DNA or RNA, whose molecules consist of many nucleotides linked in a long chain.
a genetic mutation caused by indels of a number of nucleotides in a DNA sequence that is not divisible by three
an insertion is the addition of one or more nucleotide base pairs into a DNA sequence
deoxyribonucleic acid, a self-replicating material which is present in nearly all living organisms as the main constituent of chromosomes
molecular biology describes the two-step process, transcription and translation
a nucleotide triplet within messenger RNA that signals a termination of translation into proteins
in which a part of a chromosome or a sequence of DNA is lost during DNA replication
an adaptor molecule composed of RNA, typically 76 to 90 nucleotides in length, that serves as the physical link between the mRNA and the amino acid sequence of proteins
a triplet of nucleotide bases in transfer RNA that identifies the amino acid carried and binds to a complementary codon in messenger RNA during protein synthesis at a ribosome.

Literally a fragment, the word in modern medical science has come to mean a replica, for example, of a group of bacteria or a macromolecule such as DNA
the basis of chromosome
he process of making an RNA copy of a gene sequence.
The process by which the genetic code carried by messenger RNA (mRNA) directs the production of proteins from amino acids.
an enzyme that unwinds the DNA double helix by breaking the hydrogen bonds between the complementary bases.
mutation is a type of replication error during DNA replication which places the wrong nucleotide or sequence of nucleotides in the wrong position.
