Atom

The smallest unit of matter that retains the chemical properties of an element.

Nondisjunction in Meiosis I

Cell division where homologous chromosomes fail to separate properly, resulting in daughter cells with an abnormal number of chromosomes.

Short acyl tails

The shorter fatty acid tails of phospholipids make the membrane more rigid.

5' and 3' ends of DNA

These mark the ends of a DNA strand, and are named after the carbon atoms in the sugar molecule.
