| animal genetics The scientific study of the hereditary material of animals for theoretical and practical applications such as increased population, conservation and disease research | جينات حيوانية |
| conservation of genetic resources Controlled utilization, protection and development of the gene pool of natural and cultivated organisms to ensure variety and variability and for current and potential value to human welfare | الحفاظ على الموارد الجينية |
| genetic diversity The variation between individuals and between populations within a species | التنوع الجيني |
| genetic effect Inheritable change, chiefly mutations produced by chemical substances, herbicides, radiations, etc. | التأثير الجيني |
| genetic engineering 1. The complex of techniques for the production of new genes and the alteration of the structure of the chromosomes to produce effects beneficial to man, in agriculture and medicine. 2. The intentional production of new genes and alteration of genomes by the substitution or addition of new genetic material | الهندسة الجينية - الهندسة الوراثية |
| genetic engineering legislation | تشريع الهندسة الوراثية |
| genetic information The information for protein synthesis contained in the nucleotide sequences of the DNA polynucleotide chain | معلومات جينية |
| genetic modification Inheritable changes produced by ionizing radiation, exposure to certain chemicals, ingestion of some medication and from other causes | التعديل الوراثي - التعديل الجيني |
| genetic pool The total number of genes or the amount of genetic information possessed by all the reproductive members of a population of sexually reproducing organisms | المخزون الوراثي |
| genetic resource The gene pool in natural and cultivated stocks of organisms that are available for human exploitation. It is desirable to maintain as diverse a range of organisms as possible, particularly of domesticated cultivars and their ancestors, in order to maintain a wide genetic base. The wider the genetic base, the greater the capacity for adaptation to particular environmental conditions | مصدر جيني |
| genetic variation Change in one or more phenotypic characteristics, due to gene mutation or rearrangement, environmental effects, etc. | الاختلاف الوراثي |
| plant genetics The scientific study of the hereditary material of plants for purposes such as hybridization, improved food resources and increased production | علم الوراثة النباتية |
| world register of genetic resources | السجل العالمي للموارد الوراثية |
