(i) Amphipathic nature : Most membrane lipids are amphipathic, having a non-polar end and a polar end. The amphiphilic nature of some lipids allows them to form structures such as vesicles, liposomes, or membranes in an aqueous environment. 

(ii) The point at which the two strands of DNA are separated to allow replication of each strand is known as replication fork. 

(iii) Androgenesis is the development of an embryo containing only paternal chromosomes due to failure of the egg to participate in fertilization. 

(iv) Transamination is the process of transfer of the a-amino group from the amino acid to an a-keto acid. 

(v) Active site is part of an enzyme where substrates bind and undergo a chemical reaction.
