• Gene flow [r]: The movement of genetic alleles from one population to another. If there is a low gene flow between two populations they may become distinct species. ^[e]
• Species [r]: A fundamental unit of biological classification - a set of individual organisms that produce fertile offspring. ^[e]
• Phylogenetic tree [r]: A representation of genetic similarity between taxonomic units. ^[e]
• Evolution of cells [r]: The birth of cells marked the passage from pre-biotic chemistry to partitioned units resembling modern cells. ^[e]
• Germline [r]: Add brief definition or description
• Systems biology [r]: The study of biological systems as a whole. ^[e]
• Origin of life [r]: How did self-replicating biochemistry and cells arise from the prebiotic world approximately four billion years ago? Aka abiogenesis. ^[e]
• Mitochondrion [r]: Structure, function, life cycle and evolutionary theories involving the origins and role of the mitochondrion. ^[e]
• Endosymbiont [r]: Add brief definition or description
• Endosymbiotic theory [r]: Theory on the origins of mitochondria and plastids (e.g. chloroplasts), which are organelles of eukaryotic cells. ^[e]
• Integron [r]: Add brief definition or description
• Virus [r]: A microscopic particle that can infect the cells of a biological organism and can reproduce only with the assistance of the cells it infects. ^[e]
• Provirus [r]: Add brief definition or description
• Retrotransposon [r]: Genetic elements that can amplify themselves in a genome with the use of reverse transcriptase, and are ubiquitous components of the DNA of many eukaryotic organisms. ^[e]
• Endogenous retrovirus [r]: Add brief definition or description
• Plasmid [r]: Add brief definition or description
• Mobile DNA [r]: Blocks of DNA that are able to move and insert into new locations throughout the genome without needing DNA sequence similarity or requiring the process of homologous recombination to enable movement. ^[e]
• Pilus [r]: Hairlike appendage found on the surface of many Gram-negative bacteria, shorter, thinner and straighter than flagella. ^[e]
• Transgenic plant [r]: Plants that have been genetically modified by inserting genes directly into a single plant cell, from a different species. ^[e]
