I know beepers are passÃ©, but at the time, if you did not have a beeper you missed out on a lot of work. I loved life as a contractor and it was definitely another world from the U.S. Secret Service. What no one in Federal service could have prepared me for was life as a protection agent in the private sector.
Insertion (genetics) In genetics, an insertion (also called an insertion mutation) is the addition of one or more nucleotide base pairs into a DNA sequence. This can often happen in Microsatellite regions due to the DNA polymerase slippage.
In spreadsheets and other programs, such as word processors, the insertion point is represented by a vertical blinking line, which, in certain situations, indicates where input from the keyboard or mouse will be entered. The insertion point is often referred to as the Cursor. Active Cell vs. the Insertion Point In word processing programs, such as MS Word, the insertion point is normally visible on the screen from the time the program is opened. In Excel, however, instead of an insertion point, a single worksheet cell is surrounded by a black outline. The cell so outlined is referred to as the active cell.
