Engineered to form the basis for several types of gene vectors in yeast. A Adenine or adenosine. A (aminoacyl) site The site on the ribosome occupied by an aminoacyl-tRNA just prior to peptide bond formation. A form DNA The form of DNA at high humidity; it has tilted base pairs and more base pairs per turn than does B DNA. abortive transduction The failure of a transducing DNA segment to be incorporated into the recipient chromosome. acentric chromosome A chromosome having no centromere. acentric fragment A chromosomal piece without a centromere. achondroplasia A type of dwarfism in humans inherited as an autosomal dominant phenotype. acrocentric chromosome A chromosome whose centromere lies very near one end.
