modificerende
Modificerende is a term used in various fields, primarily in genetics and chemistry, to describe something that causes a modification or alteration to a substance or process. In genetics, a modificator gene is a gene that influences the expression or effect of another gene. This means that the presence and action of a modificator gene can change the outcome of a trait that is determined by a different gene. For example, a modificator gene might increase or decrease the severity of a genetic disorder, or it could alter the color of a flower that is genetically predisposed to a certain hue. These genes do not directly cause the trait themselves but rather fine-tune the way other genes are expressed.
In chemistry, the term "modificatore" can refer to a substance or agent that alters the properties of
