  2. Complementation (genetics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Complementation_(genetics)

    These rules (patterns) are not without exceptions. Non-allelic mutants may occasionally fail to complement (this is known as "non-allelic non-complementation" or "unlinked non-complementation"). This is an uncommon occurrence that depends on the type of mutants being investigated. Two mutations, for example, could be synthetically dominant ...

  3. Complementarity (molecular biology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Complementarity_(molecular...

    Purines are larger than pyrimidines. Both types of molecules complement each other and can only base pair with the opposing type of nucleobase. In nucleic acid, nucleobases are held together by hydrogen bonding, which only works efficiently between adenine and thymine and between guanine and cytosine. The base complement A = T shares two ...

    The pygmy mammoth is an example of insular dwarfism, a case of Foster's rule, its unusually small body size an adaptation to the limited resources of its island home.. A biological rule or biological law is a generalized law, principle, or rule of thumb formulated to describe patterns observed in living organisms.

  5. Although a common classroom experiment is often explained this way, [438] Bernoulli's principle only applies within a flow field, and the air above and below the paper is in different flow fields. [439] The paper rises because the air follows the curve of the paper and a curved streamline will develop pressure differences perpendicular to the ...

    The following table is a representative sample of Erwin Chargaff's 1952 data, listing the base composition of DNA from various organisms and support both of Chargaff's rules. [17] An organism such as φX174 with significant variation from A/T and G/C equal to one, is indicative of single stranded DNA.

    Biological rules describe patterns of variation within and across species most often in regard to size. While they are described as rules there are often many ...

  8. Complement system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Complement_system

    The complement system, also known as complement cascade, is a part of the humoral, innate immune system and enhances (complements) the ability of antibodies and phagocytic cells to clear microbes and damaged cells from an organism, promote inflammation, and attack the pathogen's cell membrane. [1]

  9. Alternative complement pathway - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alternative_complement_pathway

    The classical and alternative complement pathways. Alternative pathway. (Some labels are in Polish.) The alternative pathway is a type of cascade reaction of the complement system and is a component of the innate immune system, a natural defense against infections.
