| unequal crossing over | <cell biology> Crossing over between homologous chromosomes that are not precisely paired, resulting in nonreciprocal exchange of material and chromosomes of unequal length. Favoured in regions containing tandemly repeated sequences. (18 Nov 1997) |
|---|---|
| uneven crossing-over | Unequal crossing-over, crossing-over that happens when the breaks do not occur at precisely homologous points in two chromatid strands, and hence results in localised duplication of genetic material in one chromatid and complementary deletion in the other. (05 Mar 2000) |
| flip-over disease | <disease> A disease of young, fast-growing broiler chickens which causes them to die suddenly with a short, terminal, wing-beating convulsion, whereby they often flip over and die on their backs. (05 Mar 2000) |
| flow-over vaporiser | A device for vaporization of a liquid anaesthetic by causing gases to pass over the anaesthetic or over material saturated with the anaesthetic. (05 Mar 2000) |
| four-strand crossing over | Crossing over with both strands of DNA from each sister chromatid, so that both strands from one chromatid are exchanged for both strands on the other. This is different from the usual case where only one of the two DNA strands on one sister chromatid is exchanged for the one matching strand (of the two strands) on the other sister chromatid.
