The development, through growth and differentiation, of form and structure in an organism.
Industry:Biotechnology
The difference between the mean of the individuals selected to be parents and the mean of the overall population.
Industry:Biotechnology
The difference between the mean of the individuals selected to be parents and the mean of their offspring. Predicted response = heritability (narrow-sense) × selection differential.
Industry:Biotechnology
The differential expression of a single gene according to its parental origin.
Industry:Biotechnology
The differential survival and reproduction of organisms because of differences in characteristics that affect their ability to utilize environmental resources.
Industry:Biotechnology
The diploid generation in the life cycle of a plant, and that produces haploid spores by meiosis.
Industry:Biotechnology
The directed movement within plants of compounds (usually endogenous plant growth regulators) mostly in one direction; polar transport overcomes the tendency for diffusion in all directions.
Industry:Biotechnology
The distance between two corresponding points on any two consecutive waves. For visible light it is very small and is generally measured in nanometres.
Industry:Biotechnology
The DNA from an organism that contains a target gene; this DNA is used as starting material in a cloning experiment.
Industry:Biotechnology
The DNA of plant plastids, including chloroplasts. Chloroplasts are organelles found in plant cells that conduct photosynthesis. Chloroplasts capture light energy, store it in the energy storage molecules ATP and NADPH and use it in the process called photosynthesis to make organic molecules and free oxygen from carbon dioxide and water.
