  2. Fasciation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fasciation

    Fasciation (pronounced / ˌ f æ ʃ i ˈ eɪ ʃ ə n /, from the Latin root meaning "band" or "stripe"), also known as cresting, is a relatively rare condition of abnormal growth in vascular plants in which the apical meristem (growing tip), which normally is concentrated around a single point and produces approximately cylindrical tissue ...

  3. Incomplete lineage sorting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Incomplete_lineage_sorting

    Incomplete lineage sorting (ILS) [1] [2] [3] (also referred to as hemiplasy, deep coalescence, retention of ancestral polymorphism, or trans-species polymorphism) is a phenomenon in evolutionary biology and population genetics that results in discordance between species and gene trees.

  4. Cetacean surfacing behaviour - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cetacean_surfacing_behaviour

    Humpback whale breach sequence. A breach or a lunge is a leap out of the water, also known as cresting. The distinction between the two is fairly arbitrary: cetacean researcher Hal Whitehead defines a breach as any leap in which at least 40% of the animal's body clears the water, and a lunge as a leap with less than 40% clearance. [2]

  5. Min System - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Min_System

    The initial discovery of this family of proteins is attributed to Adler et al. (1967). First identified as E. coli mutants that could not produce a properly localized septum, resulting in the generation of minicells [1] [2] due to mislocalized cell division occurring near the bacterial poles.

  6. Neurulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neurulation

    Neural crest cells form ganglia above each rhombomere. The early neural tube is primarily composed of the germinal neuroepithelium , later called the ventricular zone , which contains primary neural stem cells called radial glial cells and serves as the main source of neurons produced during brain development through the process of neurogenesis .

  7. Crest and trough - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crest_and_trough

    A crest is a point on a surface wave where the displacement of the medium is at a maximum. A trough is the opposite of a crest, so the minimum or lowest point of the wave. When the crests and troughs of two sine waves of equal amplitude and frequency intersect or collide, while being in phase with each other, the result is called constructive ...

  8. Astrocyte - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astrocyte

    A negative wave appears when the stimulus level crosses a certain threshold. The shape of the electrophysiological response is different and has the opposite polarity compared to the characteristic neural response, suggesting that cells other than neurons might be involved.

  9. Short interspersed nuclear element - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Short_interspersed_nuclear...

    SINEs are characterized by their different modules, which are essentially a sectioning of their sequence. SINEs can, but do not necessarily have to possess a head, a body, and a tail.
