a+ --> a- mutation (forward mutation) a- --> a+ reverse mutation (reversion)
Presence of pink pigment + / - Four-o’clock plants Incomplete dominance the term used to describe the general case in which the phenotype of a heterozygote is intermediate between those of the two homozygotes, on some quantitative scale of measurement

Regulatory Coding
A situation in which the third nucleotide WOBBLE A situation in which the third nucleotide of an anticodon (at the 5’ end) can form two alignments. This third nucleotide can form hydrogen bonds not only with its normal complementary nucleotide in the third position but also with different nucleotide in the position.
I stands for inosine, one of the rare bases found in tRNA, often in anticodon
The genetic code is said to be degenerate because in many cases MESSAGE The genetic code is said to be degenerate because in many cases more then one codon is assigned to a single amino acid, and, in addition, several codons can pair with more then one anticodon (wobble)
