Aggression

Aggression is a behavior aimed at opposing or attacking something or someone.

See Fruitless (gene) and Aggression

Allele

An allele, or allelomorph, is a variant of the sequence of nucleotides at a particular location, or locus, on a DNA molecule.

See Fruitless (gene) and Allele

Alternative splicing

Alternative splicing, or alternative RNA splicing, or differential splicing, is an alternative splicing process during gene expression that allows a single gene to produce different splice variants.

See Fruitless (gene) and Alternative splicing

Biology and sexual orientation

The relationship between biology and sexual orientation is a subject of on-going research. Fruitless (gene) and biology and sexual orientation are Behavioural genetics and sexual orientation and science.

See Fruitless (gene) and Biology and sexual orientation

Drosophila melanogaster

Drosophila melanogaster is a species of fly (an insect of the order Diptera) in the family Drosophilidae.

See Fruitless (gene) and Drosophila melanogaster

Gene

In biology, the word gene has two meanings.

See Fruitless (gene) and Gene

Homosexuality

Homosexuality is sexual attraction, romantic attraction, or sexual behavior between members of the same sex or gender.

See Fruitless (gene) and Homosexuality

Male

Male (symbol: ♂) is the sex of an organism that produces the gamete (sex cell) known as sperm, which fuses with the larger female gamete, or ovum, in the process of fertilisation.

See Fruitless (gene) and Male

Muscle

Muscle is a soft tissue, one of the four basic types of animal tissue.

See Fruitless (gene) and Muscle

Mutation

In biology, a mutation is an alteration in the nucleic acid sequence of the genome of an organism, virus, or extrachromosomal DNA.

See Fruitless (gene) and Mutation

Political correctness

"Political correctness" (adjectivally "politically correct"; commonly abbreviated to P.C.) is a term used to describe language, policies, or measures that are intended to avoid offense or disadvantage to members of particular groups in society.

See Fruitless (gene) and Political correctness

In genetics, a promoter is a sequence of DNA to which proteins bind to initiate transcription of a single RNA transcript from the DNA downstream of the promoter.

See Fruitless (gene) and Promoter (genetics)

Protein

Proteins are large biomolecules and macromolecules that comprise one or more long chains of amino acid residues.

See Fruitless (gene) and Protein

Ritual

A ritual is a sequence of activities involving gestures, words, actions, or revered objects.

See Fruitless (gene) and Ritual

Sexual orientation

Sexual orientation is an enduring personal pattern of romantic attraction or sexual attraction (or a combination of these) to persons of the opposite sex or gender, the same sex or gender, or to both sexes or more than one gender.

See Fruitless (gene) and Sexual orientation

Slang

A slang is a vocabulary (words, phrases, and linguistic usages) of an informal register, common in everyday conversation but avoided in formal writing.

See Fruitless (gene) and Slang

Social organisms, including human(s), live collectively in interacting populations.

See Fruitless (gene) and Social

Structural motif

In a chain-like biological molecule, such as a protein or nucleic acid, a structural motif is a common three-dimensional structure that appears in a variety of different, evolutionarily unrelated molecules.

See Fruitless (gene) and Structural motif

Transcription factor

In molecular biology, a transcription factor (TF) (or sequence-specific DNA-binding factor) is a protein that controls the rate of transcription of genetic information from DNA to messenger RNA, by binding to a specific DNA sequence.

See Fruitless (gene) and Transcription factor

Zinc finger

A zinc finger is a small protein structural motif that is characterized by the coordination of one or more zinc ions (Zn2+) which stabilizes the fold.

See Fruitless (gene) and Zinc finger
