mutation
False. A mutation refers to a change in the DNA sequence of a gene or chromosome, not the specific part of a chromosome that carries information about a trait.
Entropy
Demand-price elasticity.
Boiling refers to the application of heat that causes a liquid to change into gas.
The term "cost driver" refers to the activity that causes cost to change.
An exchange of chromosome segments is called a translocation. In genetics, it refers to a chromosome abnormality caused by rearrangement of parts between nonhomologous chromosomes.
Translocation is the term that refers to both the movement of a ribosome along a piece of mRNA during protein synthesis and the movement of a segment of one chromosome to another chromosome, either within the same cell or between different cells.
A duplicated chromosome consists of two identical sister chromatids joined at the centromere. Therefore, one half of a duplicated chromosome refers to one of these sister chromatids, which contains a copy of the genetic material from the original chromosome.
The modal chromosome number refers to the most common number of chromosomes found within a particular species. It is essentially the number that occurs most frequently among individuals of that species.
In genetics, this refers to the phenotype of an allele that is related to the X-chromosome. It is a type of sex linkage.
In genetics, this refers to the phenotype of an allele that is related to the X-chromosome. It is a type of sex linkage.
"Rhesus factor" refers only to the presence or absence of the RhD antigen, symbolised by negative (absence) or positive (presence). Because it is caused by genetics, it cannot be changed by any artificial means, although it may change naturally - there are several documented cases of people changing bloodtype.
