code for the basic instructions for the development, reproduction, and maintenance
of organisms
Note générale sur le champ d'application :
general or unspecified; prefer specifics; restorer genes: index GENES, SUPPRESSOR
and probably PLANT INFERTILITY; repressor genes = GENES, REGULATOR but also consider
REPRESSOR PROTEINS; lac gene = LAC OPERON but consider also LAC FACTORS or LAC REPRESSORS
(see note on REPRESSOR PROTEINS); split genes = EXONS or INTRONS
