for electrical insulator Insulator Electrical Other uses Insulation disambiguation Image Gene enhancer.svg thumb 250px An insulator is a Genetics genetic boundary element that plays two distinct roles in gene expression , either as an enhancer genetics enhancer blocking element, or more rarely as a barrier against condensed chromatin protein s spreading onto active chromatin. The need for them arises where two adjacent gene s on a chromosome have very different Transcription genetics transcription patterns, and it is critical that the inducing or repressing mechanisms of one do not interfere with the neighbouring gene. ref name BBB cite journal author Burgess Beusse, B, et al. month December year 2002 title The insulation of genes from external enhancers and silencing chromatin journal Proc.

Image insertion genetics.png thumb 300px An illustration of an insertion at chromosome level In genetics , an insertion also called an insertion mutation is the addition of one or more nucleotide base pair s into a DNA sequence. This can often happen in Microsatellite genetics microsatellite regions due to the DNA polymerase slipping. Insertions can be anywhere in size from one base pair incorrectly inserted into a DNA sequence to a section of one chromosome inserted into another. On a chromosome level, an insertion refers to the insertion of a larger sequence into a chromosome. This can happen due to unequal Chromosomal crossover crossover during meiosis . N region addition is the addition of non coded nucleotides during genetic recombination recombination by terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase . P nucleotide insertion is the insertion of palindromic sequence s encoded by the ends of the recombining gene segments.

Unreferenced stub auto yes date December 2009 In opposition to mutations , modifications are included in the band width of the genome of an individual creature. Modifications are dependent on the plentifulness of the substrate, light, warmths, stress, training, and so on. A modification is a change in the physical appearance of an organism phenotype caused by environmental factors. Modifications are not inheritable as they do not affect the genes. Occurrence Modifications often occur in domesticated animals Decrease of the brain weight by 20 to 30 percent, decline of the cerebral cleavage embryo cleavage especially in the projection areas of the sense organs , changes in the hormone status and in the behaviour. Modificability In heredity the genes of the parents are passed on to their offspring unchanged. That is why the organisms which carry the same genotype should be identical in every feature. However, this is not the case. Due to environmental conditions they can vary from each other up to a certain point. There are two types of modifications the continuous modification and the switching modification. To illustrate the modificability you can take a look at our cultivated plants. The harvest of those plants do not only depend on the quality of the seeds but also greatly on environmental factors like the condition of the soil, the nutrient content of the soil, the fertilization, the humidity and temperature as well as the interference of other plant s. Example Dandelion If you take a lowland dandelion and plant half of it in the lowland and the other half in the mountains the result will be a dandelion with big leaves in the lowland and one with small leaves in the mountains. The reason is that in the lowland the environmental conditions are different from those in the mountains. DEFAULTSORT Modifications Genetics Genetics stub Category Genetics ... more details

A transcriptional activator is a protein that increases transcription genetics gene transcription of a gene or set of genes. Most activators are DNA binding proteins . Most activators function by binding sequence specifically to a DNA site located in or near a promoter genetics promoter and making protein protein interactions with the general transcription machinery RNA polymerase and general transcription factor s , thereby facilitating the binding of the general transcription machinery to the promoter. The DNA site bound by the activator is referred to as an activator site. The part of the activator that makes protein protein interactions with the general transcription machinery is referred to as an activating region. The part of the general transcription machinery that makes protein protein interactions with the activator is referred to as an activation target. Example The catabolite activator protein CAP also known as cAMP receptor protein , CRP activates transcription at the lac operon lac operon of the bacterium Escherichia coli . ref cite journal author Busby S., Richard H.

A chiasma plural chiasmata , in genetics , is thought to be the point where two homologous non sister chromatid s exchange genetic material during chromosomal crossover during meiosis sister chromatids also form chiasmata between each other, but because their genetic material is identical, it does not cause any change in the resulting daughter cells . The chiasmata become visible during the diplotene stage of prophase I of meiosis , but the actual crossing over of genetic material is thought to occur during the previous pachytene stage. When each bivalent tetrad , which is composed of two pairs of sister chromatids , begins to split, the only points of contact are at the chiasmata. chiasma frequency 2 x recombination frequency where recombination frequency is recombination frequency no. of recombinants total no. of progeny The phenomenon of genetic chiasmata chiasmatypie was discovered and described in 1909 by Frans Alfons Janssens , a Jesuit professor at the University of Leuven in Belgium . ref Elof Axel Carlson, Mendel s Legacy The Origin of Classical Genetics , CSHL Press, 2004, ISBN 0879696753, p.xvii ref ref http books.google.com books?id 5ULXJQR4aEUC&pg PA182&dq Frans Alfons Janssens&ei ANqjS zVLKrkygTU2sniCA&cd 1 v onepage&q Frans 20Alfons 20Janssens&f false In pursuit of the gene from Darwin to DNA By James Schwartz Harvard University Press 2008 , p. 182 ISBN 0674026705 Retrieved 19 March 2010. ref A bivalent refers to the two homologous chromosomes 4 chromatids . The chiasmata refers to the actual break of the phosphodiester bond during crossing over. The larger the number of map units between the genes, the more crossing over occurs.
