Polarity


Polarity
Gene conversion shows polarity within a gene.
The observations are consistent with preferential initiation of recombination events at a hotspot, coupled with different extents of heteroduplex formation.

The polarity of an actin filament can be determined by decorating the microfilament with myosin "S1" fragments, creating and barbed (+) and pointed (-) end on the filament. An S1 fragment is composed of the head and neck domains of the myosin II.

Changed polarity of the membrane, the action potential, results in propagation of the nerve impulse along the membrane. An action potential is a temporary reversal of the electrical potential along the membrane for a few milliseconds.

EGFR transmembrane receptor- tk - EGF-R homology - during oogenesis helps set up egg polarity, determines the identity of cells in the ectoderm; during larval stages participates in the development of the eye and wing.

There were what we call "maternal coordinate" genes, "Gap genes, "Pair-Rule" genes, "segment polarity" genes, and "homeotic" genes. They basically act in that kind of hierarchical order to set a pattern of the embryo.

This work deals with issues regarding the ion polarity combination, viz., positive oligonucleotides/negative charge transfer agent versus negative oligonucleotides/positive charge transfer agent.

polarity Depending on the context meaning one of two things. Either the nonuniform distribution of electrons in a molecule resulting from elements with differing electronegativities bonding; or the distinction between the 5' and 3, ...

A myosin bundle, therefore, has a central, bare zone and an array of protruding heads of opposite polarity at each end.
Bipolar myosin-II filaments (12-14nm diameter, 1.6 mm long) are found in striated muscle.

As the particles approach a plate they are accelerated towards it by an opposite polarity charge applied to the plate.

As the action potential passes (B), the polarity is reversed. Then the outflow of K+ ions quickly restores normal polarity (C).

Polar mutation
A mutation which affects not only the gene in which it is located but other genes located immediately downstream on the DNA molecule. See Rho dependent polarity .
