Stipulate that in double-stranded DNA, the amount of adenine (A) equals that of thymine (T) and the amount of guanine (G) equals that of cytosine (C). Accordingly, A binds to T and G to C by hydrogen bonds, giving the DNA molecule the properties needed for replication and information storage.
Industry:Agriculture
Unit of recombination. Named after the geneticist Morgan. One cM is equivalent to one percent recombination.
Industry:Agriculture
The juvenile growth stage of a plant that is not affected by photoperiod.
