| 世界遗传资源登记 | world register of genetic resources |
| 动物遗产 | animal heritage The sum of the earth's or a particular region's non-human, non-vegetable, multicellular organisms viewed as the inheritance of the present generation, especially animal species deemed worthy of preservation and protection from extinction (地球上或特定地区非人类、非植物、多细胞有机体的数量，它们被视为目前世代所留的遗产，尤其是濒临灭绝而应被保护和保存的动物。) |
| 历史遗址 | historical site Place where significant historical events occurred and which is important to an indigenous culture or a community (重要历史事件发生的所在地，对当地的文化或社会相当重要。) |
| 历史遗迹保护 | conservation of monuments Measures adopted for the protection and the maintenance of hystorical and art monuments (保护和维护历史和艺术遗迹所采取的措施。) |
| 文化遗产 | cultural heritage The inherited body of beliefs, customs, artistic activity and knowledge that has been transmitted by ancestors (祖先遗留下来的、承继的信仰、传统、艺术活动以及知识。) |
| 植物遗产 | plant heritage The sum of the earth's or a particular region's herb, vegetable, shrub and tree life viewed as the inheritance of the present generation, especially plant species deemed worthy of preservation and protection from extinction (特定地区的草本植物、树和灌木、蔬菜，特别是如何防止植物物种的灭绝。) |
| 植物遗传学 | plant genetics The scientific study of the hereditary material of plants for purposes such as hybridization, improved food resources and increased production (研究植物的遗传物质的学科，如杂交改良食物资源以提高产量。) |
| 生物遗产 | biological heritage The inheritance and preservation of the earth's or a particular region's balanced, integrated functionality as a natural habitat, with special concern for the water resources necessary to maintain the ecosystem (对地球或者某个作为一个自然栖息地的特定区域的均衡和综合功能的继承和保护，尤其是对水资源需求的特别关注，以维持生态系统。) |
| 考古遗址 | archaeological site Any location containing significant relics and artifacts of past culture (有重要遗迹和古代人工制品的任意地址。) |
| 自然遗产 | natural heritage Generally, the world's natural resources as handed down to the present generation, and specifically, the earth's outstanding physical, biological and geological formations, and habitats of threatened species of animals and plants and areas with scientific, conservation or aesthetic value (一般来说，指传给现在这代人的世界上的自然资源。特别地，指地球上杰出的物理、生物和地质构造物，以及受到威胁的动植物物种的栖息地和有科学、保护或者审美价值的地区。) |
| 自然遗产评估 | natural heritage assessment Evaluation of the natural structures, resources and landscapes to ensure their careful management and preservation (对自然结构、资源和风景的评估，以保证对它们的精心管理和保存。) |
| 遗产价值 | bequest value |
| 遗传信息 | genetic information The information for protein synthesis contained in the nucleotide sequences of the DNA polynucleotide chain (DNADNA核苷酸序列的多核苷酸链携带的关于蛋白质合成的信息。) |
| 遗传变异 | genetic variation Change in one or more phenotypic characteristics, due to gene mutation or rearrangement, environmental effects, etc. (由于基因改变或重组，环境影响，一个或多个表现型特征的变化。) |
| 遗传多样性 | genetic diversity The variation between individuals and between populations within a species (个体或同一物种种群中的变化。) |
| 遗传学 | genetics The science that is concerned with the study of biological inheritance (研究生物遗传的科学。) |
| 遗传效应 | genetic effect Inheritable change, chiefly mutations produced by chemical substances, herbicides, radiations, etc. (由化学物质，药物，辐射等造成的可遗传的变化，主要是基因突变。) |
| 遗传物质，基因物质 | germ plasm The hereditary material transmitted to the offspring via the gametes (通过交配传播给子代的遗传物质。) |
| 遗传资源 | 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 (可供人类开发的自然和耕种作物的基因库。为了维持一个广泛的遗传基础库，其中的不同类型的生物越多越好，特别是家养品种和他们的原种。基础库的范围越广，适应特定的环境条件的能力就越大。) |
