Gene (Dr. Johnson's Definition)
What is:
a region of specific DNA bases, whose sequence is transcribed into coding or non-coding RNA,
AND
the non-transcribed DNA bases that regulate the temporal, spatial, and developmental expression of that RNA
prevents strands from rebinding during replication
The ends of chromosomes
What are telomeres?
when viral particles release from cell without killing the cell
What is egression?
