Genetic change occurring in a germ cell which does not cause dysfunction of the gamete but which is lethal to the fertilized egg or developing embryo which develops from it.
Note: Induction of a dominant lethal event after exposure to a chemical substance (dominant lethal test) indicates that the substance has affected germinal tissue of the test species.
Industry:Biology; Chemistry
Genetic constitution of an organism as revealed by genetic or molecular analysis; the complete set of genes possessed by a particular organism, cell, organelle or virus.
Industry:Biology; Chemistry
Genetically based unusually high sensitivity of an organism to the effect of certain substances.
Industry:Biology; Chemistry
Germ cell layer of the embryo from which a given adult tissue develops.
Industry:Biology; Chemistry
Global study of the structure and function of carbohydrates, especially oligosaccharides (short chains of sugars) in a living organism.

Industry:Biology; Chemistry
Granular growth or tumor, usually of lymphoid and epithelial cells.
Industry:Biology; Chemistry
Graph of the relation between dose and the magnitude of the biological change produced measured in appropriate units.
Industry:Biology; Chemistry
Graph of the relation between dose and the proportion of individuals in a population responding with a defined biological effect.
Industry:Biology; Chemistry
Graphical method for analysing binding of a molecule A to a macromolecule P with n binding sites. A Hill plot of lg(Θ/(1-Θ)) vs lg(A) has a slope of 1 if binding is non-co-operative and >1 for co-operative binding, where Θ = (A)bound/n(P)total is the fraction of sites occupied.
