Conversion
An unconscious defense mechanism by which the anxiety that stems from intrapsychic conflict is converted and expressed in a symbolic somatic.

The term was re-introduced by Lindegren (1953) to account for aberrant ratios in the products of meiosis, apparently arising from such interaction. Whitehouse and Hastings (1965) have suggested that if gene conversion is due to the correction of ...
Gene conversion is an event in DNA genetic recombination, which occurs at high frequencies during meiotic division but which also occurs in somatic cells.
Conversions
NADH produced in the cytoplasm produces two ATP by the electron transport system.
NADH produced in the mitochondria produces three ATP.
Gene conversion
An genetic event that produces abnormal segregations by non-reciprocal recombination.
Gene Conversion
If the sequence used as a template for repairing a gene by homologous recombination differs slightly from the gene needing repair; that is, is an allele, the repaired gene will acquire the donor sequence.
Conversion
The term proposed by Winkler (1930) for a process of interaction between alleles at meiosis.
conversion of a normal cell into a cancerous cell; also refers to the uptake and incorporation of exogenous DNA by a cell

The conversion of a proto-oncogene to an oncogene may occur by mutation of the proto-oncogene, by rearrangement of genes in the chromosome that moves the proto-oncogene to a new location, ...
GENE CONVERSION - The alteration of all or part of a gene by a homologous donor DNA that is itself not altered in the process.

One is gene conversion. This is a phenomena by which one stretch of DNA "erases" another stretch and copies itself in it's place. The mechanism is well known, but I don't have time to explain it. Any molecular bio text will have that info.
glycolysis The conversion of glucose to pyruvic acid (pyruvate) with the release of some energy in the form of ATP. Occurs in the cytosol; literally "sugar splitting."
glycoprotein A protein with attached sugars.
photosynthesis - conversion of light energy (sunlight) to chemical energy (glucose) through several enzymatically catalyzed steps: energy + C02 + H2O 6 sugar + O2 ...
Denitrification is conversion of nitrate to nitrous oxide and nitrogen gas back to atmosphere. This is done by denitrifying bacteria in both aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems.
The conversion of atmospheric nitrogen to biologically usable nitrates. Nitrogenous bases. The purines (adenine and guanine) and pyrimidines (thymine, cytosine, and uracil) that comprise DNA and RNA molecules. Nodule.
Understanding the nature of the normal cellular isoform of the prion protein is considered essential to understanding the conversion process that generates PrPSc.
Photosynthesis is the conversion of sunlight energy into C-C covalent bonds of a carbohydrate, the process by which the vast majority of autotrophs obtain their energy.
MTHFR (methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase) is a metabolic enzyme that is involved in the conversion of homocysteine to methionine.
And the process of that conversion produces energy in the form of ATP, because the phosphate is a high-energy bond and provides energy for other reactions within the cell. So the mitochondria's purpose is to produce that energy.

Recombination may come about through random orientation of non-homologous chromosome pairs on the meiotic spindles, from crossing-over between homologous chromosomes, from gene conversion, or by other means. See homologous recombination.
