Most have scales, but some are naked; most have eyelids, but some do not. The tongue is varied in form and structure. In some it is forked, in others, as the chameleons, club-shaped, and very extensible. See Amphisbaena, Chameleon, Gecko, Gila monster, Horned toad, Iguana, and Dragon. 2. A piece of rope with thimble or block spliced into one or both of the ends. 3. A piece of timber with a forked end, used in dragging a heavy stone, a log, or the like, from a field. <zoology> Lizard fish, a kind of serpentine from near Lizard Point, Cornwall, England, used for ornamental purposes. Origin: OE. Lesarde, OF. Lesarde, F. Lezard, L. Lacerta, lacertus. Cf. Alligator, Lacerta. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |

| poly A tail | <molecular biology> A sequence of adenine nucleotides that get added to the 3' end of some primary transcript messenger RNA molecules in eukaryotes during post-transcriptional processing. The added tail is believed to confer stability to the molecule. Histone mRNA do not have poly A tail. The poly A tail is added post transcriptionally to the primary transcript as part of the nuclear processing of RNA yielding hnRNAs with 60-200 adenylate residues in the tail. In the cytoplasm the poly A tail on mRNAs is gradually reduced in length. The function of the poly A tail is not clear but it is the basis of a useful technique for the isolation of eukaryotic mRNAs. The technique uses an affinity column with oligo(u) or oligo(dT) immobilised on a solid support. If cytoplasmic RNA is applied to such a column, poly A rich RNA (mRNA) will be retained.
