Entry terms
- Gene
Note
- general or unspecified; prefer specifics; restorer genes: index GENES, SUPPRESSOR and probably PLANT INFERTILITY; repressor genes = GENES, REGULATOR but also consider REPRESSOR PROTEINS; lac gene = LAC OPERON but consider also LAC FACTORS or LAC REPRESSORS (see note on REPRESSOR PROTEINS); split genes = EXONS or INTRONS
Scope note
- A category of nucleic acid sequences that function as units of heredity and which code for the basic instructions for the development, reproduction, and maintenance of organisms.
History note
- 1965; (1963); for CISTRON use GENES, STRUCTURAL 1980-2005
