  2. Satellite (biology) - Wikipedia

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

    The symbiotic relationship between a satellite and a helper virus to catalyze the replication of a satellite genome is also dependent on the host to provide components like replicases [4] to carry out replication. [5] A satellite virus of mamavirus that inhibits the replication of its host has been termed a virophage. [6]

    The Tuvan People's Republic was proclaimed a nominally independent state in 1921, although it was tightly controlled by Moscow and is considered a satellite state of the Soviet Union until 1944, when the USSR annexed it into the Russian SFSR.

  4. Satellite DNA - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satellite_DNA

    The name "satellite DNA" refers to the phenomenon that repetitions of a short DNA sequence tend to produce a different frequency of the bases adenine, cytosine, guanine, and thymine, and thus have a different density from bulk DNA such that they form a second or "satellite" band(s) when genomic DNA is separated along a cesium chloride density ...

  5. Habitability of natural satellites - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Habitability_of_natural...

    The habitability of natural satellites is the potential of moons to provide habitats for life, though it is not an indicator that they harbor it.Natural satellites are expected to outnumber planets by a large margin and the study of their habitability is therefore important to astrobiology and the search for extraterrestrial life.

    The English proper name for Earth's natural satellite is typically written as Moon, with a capital M. [19] [20] The noun moon is derived from Old English mōna, which stems from Proto-Germanic *mēnōn, [21] which in turn comes from Proto-Indo-European *mēnsis 'month' [22] (from earlier *mēnōt, genitive *mēneses) which may be related to the verb 'measure' (of time).

  7. Satellite chromosome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satellite_chromosome

    The name derives from the small chromosomal segment behind the secondary constriction, called a satellite, named by Sergei Navashin, in 1912. [5] Later, Heitz (1931) qualified the secondary constriction as the SAT state ( Sine Acido Thymonucleinico , which means "without thymonucleic acid"), because it didn't stain with the Feulgen reaction .
