Daughter chromosome - A chromatid separated from its sister during and after anaphase
Degeneracy - Multiple codons representing the same amino acid in the genetic code
Degredation control - Mechanism for regulating RNA breakdown in the cytoplasm
Deletion - A type of mutation
Deoxynucleotide - A nucleotide containing deoxyribose
Deoxyribose - Pentose sugar found in the backbone of DNA
Development - Growth processes involving the formation of a phenotype from interaction of genotype, cytoplasm and environment
Dicentric chromosome - A chromosome with two centromeres
Dideoxynucleotide - A modified nucleotide containing dideoxyribose sugar, used in DNA sequencing
Diploid - A eukaryotic cell with two sets of chromosomes
Discontinuous trait - A heritable trait in which a mutant allele produces a phenotype distinct from the wild-type allele
Disjunction - The process of separating sister chromosomes during cell division
Dispersed repeated sequence - Sequence of DNA repeated irregularly throughout the genome
Dispersive replication - Model of DNA replication, replaced by semi-conservative model
DNA - Molecule which contains recipe for organisms
DNA helicase - Enzyme that unwinds DNA helix
DNA ligase - Enzyme that induces formation of covelant bonds between the sugar and phosphate molecules of the ends of single strand DNA molecules during DNA replication and repair
DNA marker - A genetic marker detected on the DNA molecule, rather through the protein product or phenotype of a gene
DNA mismatch - DNA damage caused by non-complementary base pairing
DNA polymerase - Enzyme, part of DNA replication machinery
DNA primase - Enzyme that produces RNA primer to initiate DNA synthesis
DNA replication - The process of copying DNA
DNA typing (or profiling) - Use of RFLPs to indentify an individual from a DNA sample
Docking protein - Membrane bound endoplasmic reticulum (ER) protein which assists in binding the ribosome to the ER
Domain shuffling - Hypothesis that many new genes are produced the duplication and shuffling of segments (exons) of existing genes
Dominance variance - Variation caused by the effect of dominant and recessive alleles
Dominant - An allele which is expressed in both the homozygous and heterozygous state
Dosage compensation - Mechanism in female mammals which de-activates all but one X chromosome to compensate for the difference in X chromosome number between males and females
Double helix - The shape of DNA
Duplication - Chromosomal mutation where a section of chromosome is doubled
