Crop Insurance Scheme
Collective Investment Scheme. These are financial products where money from a number of different investors are pooled and then invested by a *fund manager according to specific criteria. The scheme or fund is divided into segments called 'units', which are to some degree similar to shares. Investors take a stake in the fund by buying these units - they will therefore become unitholders. The price of a unit is based on the value of the investments the fund has invested in (Net asset value).
an open end collective investment scheme that issues redeemable units and invests primarily in transferable securities or money market instruments. For the purposes of these Principles, it excludes schemes investing in property/real estate, mortgages or venture capital.
The arrangement of two sequences or genes on the same chromosome.
Located on the same, physically contiguous DNA molecule.
Two genes located are on the same molecule of DNA (commonly refers to genes that are located very close to each other on the same DNA molecule).
Continuous Ink system. An adaptation made to a desktop printer allowing a continuous feed of ink to be supplied to the print heads without using disposable ink cartridges. Despite high initial costs, this can deliver significant cost savings for heavy users of desktop inkjet printers.
