The single-stranded nucleotide sequence left on a restriction fragment by type II restriction enzymes that cut each strand at a separate location. These unpaired regions are available for hybridization with complementary ends on other fragments during the creation of recombinant DNA. a.k.a. protruding end; overhang; cohesive end.

Industry:Biotechnology
The site in a gene where translation is initiated, a.k.a. translation initiation site.
Industry:Biotechnology
The site on a ribosome that hosts the tRNA to which an amino acid for the growing polypeptide chain is attached.

Industry:Biotechnology
The situation in which a change in phenotype results from the change of the position of a gene or group of genes.
Industry:Biotechnology
The situation in which both alleles in a heterozygous individual are expressed, so that the phenotype of heterozygotes incorporates the phenotypic effect of each allele. For example, roan coat colour in cattle results from a mixture of red hairs and white hairs, caused by heterozygosity for the red allele and the white allele. Also, protein polymorphisms and microsatellites show co-dominance: heterozygotes have two bands, whereas homozygotes have only one band.
Industry:Biotechnology
The situation in which different mutant genes produce the same phenotype.
Industry:Biotechnology
The smaller of the two kinds of meiospores produced by heterosporous plants in the course of microsporogenesis; in seed plants, microspores give rise to the pollen grain, the male gametophyte.
Industry:Biotechnology
The soil region in the immediate vicinity of growing plant roots.
