Different forms of a gene

A statement that is accepted if the sample data provide sufficient evidence that the null hypothesis is false.

A significance test used to determine if a linear relationship exists between two variables measured on interval or ratio scales.

A condition in which neither of two alleles of a gene is dominant or recessive.

A temporary union of two organisms for the purpose of DNA transfer.

Process in which homologous chromosomes exchange portions of their chromatids during meiosis.

A cross between individuals that have different alleles for the same gene

(genetics) an organism or cell having two sets of chromosomes or twice the haploid number

A linking enzyme essential for DNA replication; catalyzes the covalent bonding of the 3' end of a new DNA fragment to the 5' end of a growing chain.

Enzyme involved in DNA replication that joins individual nucleotides to produce a DNA molecule

the process of making a copy of DNA

Describes a trait that covers over, or dominates, another form of that trait.

Female sex cell

A type of gene interaction in which one gene alters the phenotypic effects of another gene that is independently inherited.

expressed sequence of DNA; codes for a protein
