operator gene | a gene that activates the production of messenger RNA by adjacent structural genes |
oncogene transforming gene | a gene that disposes normal cells to change into cancerous tumor cells |
recessive gene | gene that produces its characteristic phenotype only when its allele is identical, the recessive gene for blue eyes |
regulatory gene regulator gene | a gene that produces a repressor substance that inhibits an operator gene |
repressor gene | gene that prevents a nonallele from being transcribed |
structural gene | a gene that controls the production of a specific protein or peptide |
suppressor suppresser suppressor gene suppresser gene | a gene that suppresses the phenotypic expression of another gene (especially of a mutant gene) |
tumor suppressor gene | a suppressor gene that blocks unscheduled cell division |
X-linked gene | a gene located on an X chromosome |
Y-linked gene holandric gene | a gene located on a Y chromosome |
genetic engineering gene-splicing recombinant DNA technology | the technology of preparing recombinant DNA in vitro by cutting up DNA molecules and splicing together fragments from more than one organism |

flow flowing | the motion characteristic of fluids (liquids or gases) |
airflow air flow flow of air | the flow of air, she adjusted the fan so that the airflow was directed right at her |
point mutation gene mutation | (genetics) a mutation due to an intramolecular reorganization of a gene |
stream flow current | dominant course (suggestive of running water) of successive events or ideas, two streams of development run through American history, stream of consciousness, the flow of thought, the current of history |
transducing vector gene delivery vector | a vector for delivering genes into cells |

Tunney Gene Tunney James Joseph Tunney | United States prizefighter who won the world heavyweight championship by defeating Jack Dempsey twice (-) |
gene expression | conversion of the information encoded in a gene first into messenger RNA and then to a protein |
turbulent flow | flow in which the velocity at any point varies erratically |
streamline flow | flow of a gas or liquid in which the velocity at any point is relatively steady |
laminar flow | nonturbulent streamline flow in parallel layers (laminae) |
cash flow | the excess of cash revenues over cash outlays in a give period of time (not including nonash expenses) |
flow | any uninterrupted stream or discharge |
menstruation menses menstruum catamenia period flow | the monthly discharge of blood from the uterus of nonpregnant women from puberty to menopause, the women were sickly and subject to excessive menstruation, a woman does not take the gout unless her menses be stopped--Hippocrates, the semen begins to appear in males and to be emitted at the same time of life that the catamenia begin to flow in females--Aristotle |
stream flow | something that resembles a flowing stream in moving continuously, a stream of people emptied from the terminal, the museum had planned carefully for the flow of visitors |
transposon jumping gene | a segment of DNA that can become integrated at many different sites along a chromosome (especially a segment of bacterial DNA that can be translocated as a whole) |
