  2. Resource curse - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resource_curse

    The resource curse, also known as the paradox of plenty or the poverty paradox, is the hypothesis that countries with an abundance of natural resources (such as fossil fuels and certain minerals) have lower economic growth, lower rates of democracy, or poorer development outcomes than countries with fewer natural resources. [1]

  3. List of research methods in biology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_research_methods...

    Analysis Utility Branch Dose–response curves: Graph that shows the magnitude of the response of an organism, as a function of exposure (or doses) to a stimulus or stressor (usually a chemical) after a certain exposure time [2]

  4. R* rule (ecology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R*_rule_(ecology)

    where N j is the density of species j, R is the density of the resource, a is the rate at which species j eats the resource, d is species js death rate, and r is the rate at which resources grow when not consumed. It is easy to show that when species j is at equilibrium by itself (i.e., dN j /dt = 0), that the equilibrium resource density, R* j, is

  5. D-loop replication - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/D-loop_replication

    Each D-loop contains an origin of replication for the heavy strand. Full circular DNA replication is initiated at that origin and replicates in only one direction. The middle strand in the D-loop can be removed and a new one will be synthesized that is not terminated until the heavy strand is fully replicated, or the middle strand can serve as a primer for the heavy strand replication.

  6. Heavy strand - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heavy_strand

    Circular molecules of DNA, such as plasmids and typical mitochondrial genomes, consist of two strands of DNA called the heavy strand (or H-strand) and the light strand (or L-strand). The two strands have different masses due to different proportions of heavier nucleotides .

  7. Resource (biology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resource_(biology)

    In biology and ecology, a resource is a substance or object in the environment required by an organism for normal growth, maintenance, and reproduction. Resources can be consumed by one organism and, as a result, become unavailable to another organism. [1] [2] [3] For plants key resources are light, nutrients, water, and space to

  8. DNA mismatch repair - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DNA_mismatch_repair

    Examples of mismatched bases include a G/T or A/C pairing (see DNA repair). Mismatches are commonly due to tautomerization of bases during DNA replication. The damage is repaired by recognition of the deformity caused by the mismatch, determining the template and non-template strand, and excising the wrongly incorporated base and replacing it ...

  9. Fluorescence in situ hybridization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluorescence_in_situ...

    In biology, a probe is a single strand of DNA or RNA that is complementary to a nucleotide sequence of interest. RNA probes can be designed for any gene or any sequence within a gene for visualization of mRNA , [ 3 ] [ 4 ] [ 5 ] lncRNA [ 6 ] [ 7 ] [ 8 ] and miRNA in tissues and cells.
