Modeling The use of statistical analysis, computer analysis, or model organisms to predict outcomes of research. Modem synthesis The synthesis of natural selection and Mendelian inheritance. Also called neo-Darwinism.
Molecular biology The study of the structure, function, and makeup of biologically important molecules. Molecular Clock The theory that molecules evolve at an approximately constant rate. The difference between the form of a molecule in two species is then proportional to the time since the species diverged from a common ancestor, and molecules become of great value in the inference of phylogeny. Molecular Farming The development of transgenic animals to produce human proteins for medical use. Molecular Genetics The study of macromolecules important in biological inheritance.
Molecular Geneticists Scientists who study genes and characters through work with the molecules that make up and interact with DNA. Molecular Medicine The treatment of injury or disease at the molecular level. Examples include the use of DNA-based diagnostic tests or medicine derived from DNA sequence information. Mollusk An invertebrate that has a fleshy, muscular body. The phylum Mollusca includes snails, bivalves, squids, and octopuses.	Your Ad Here
"Monkey trial" In 1925, John Scopes was convicted and fined $100 for teaching evolution in his Dayton, Tenn., classroom in the first highly publicized trial concerning the teaching of evolution. The press reported that although they lost the case, Scopes's team had won the argument. The verdict had a chilling effect on teaching evolution in the classroom, however, and not until the 1960s did it reappear in schoolbooks. Monocistronic Coding for a single polypeptide chain; typical of eukaryotic cells. Monogamy A reproductive strategy in which one male and one female mate and reproduce exclusively with each other. Contrast with polygyny and polyandry. Monogenic disorder A disorder caused by mutation of a single gene. Monogenic inheritance Monogenic disorder.
