Family History
A family history is a record of medical information about an individual and their biological family. Human genetic data is becoming more prevalent and easy to obtain.
Blackett Family Members
The Blackett Family DNA Activity is largely a genetic study of the inheritance of alleles in an extended family. Bob Blackett has tested DNA samples from himself and 13 other relatives.

Gene family A number of genes which resemble each other in DNA sequence, presumably because they have evolved by gene duplication and subsequent divergence.
Gene flow The movement of alleles from one population into another.

Multigene family
A number of identical or related genes present in the same organism, usually coding for a family of related polypeptides.
The monocot family Poaceae (known previously as the Gramineae) includes the grasses such as corn, oats, wheat, rye, and rice that are staple food products as well as ornamental plants such as crabgrass and tiff grass.
A tissue is a family of cells that live very close together, and work hard to do the same jobs. Many tissues come together to form what biologists call an organ. This is like a city in the example above.
Araceae a family of monocots whose flowers are in the form of a spathe and spadix
(from the genus name Arum = "wake-robin" - note that while here in the US this common name is used to refer to Trillium sp.
Interferon. A family of small proteins that stimulate viral resistance in cells.
Intergenic regions. DNA sequences located between genes that comprise a large percentage of the human genome with no known function.
A family of organic molecules with the general formula (CH20)x, ranging from simple sugars, such as glucose and fructose, to complex molecules, such as starch and cellulose.
Incomplete penetrance -- the gene for a condition is present, but not obviously expressed in all individuals in a family with the gene.
Grass: a member of the Graminae family of flowering plants. Growthform: the overall morphology of a plant species, including its stature, leaf type, and habit.
family, subfamily, subspecies.
Change of rank When a name is moved from one level of the classification system to another, e.g., when De Lotto (1955) moved Ceroplastes destructor brevicauda from the subspecies to the species rank C.

Endosomes are membrane-bound vesicles, formed via a complex family of processes collectively known as endocytosis, and found in the cytoplasm of virtually every animal cell.
Arabidopsis thaliana: A small member of the mustard family (kitchen cress). It has a very small genome (130-140 Mbp), five chromosomes and contains almost no repetitive DNA. Its genome will be completely sequenced by the end of 2000.
- (genus Oryza) is a plant of the grass family which feeds more than half of the world's human population.
The cnidarian family also has tissues. Tissues are specially developed groups of cells with one function. There could be tissue to digest food, tissue to help the anemone move, and tissue that helps the anemone stay attached to its rock.
PRINTS The PRINTS database is a collection of protein fingerprints; conserved motifs characteristic of a protein family. Usually the motifs do not overlap, but are separated along a sequence, though they may be contiguous in 3D-space.
cole crops. Any of the group of crucifer family crops that are varieties of the species Brassica oleracea, including cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, and brussel spouts.
Elongation factor G (EF-G) A member of the G-protein family that closely resembles the complex between EF-Tu and trna. Hydrolysis of GTP by EF-G causes the trnas and mrna to move through the ribosome a distance corresponding to one codon.
Transplantation of tissue or organs between organisms of different species, genus, or family. A common example is the use of pig heart valves in humans.
