Nomenclature (UK: / n oʊ ˈ m ɛ ŋ k l ə tʃ ə, n ə-/, US: / ˈ n oʊ m ə n k l eɪ tʃ ər /) [1] [2] is a system of names or terms, or the rules for forming these terms in a particular field of arts or sciences. [3] (The theoretical field studying nomenclature is sometimes referred to as onymology or taxonymy [4]).
In the ICZN, the system is also called binominal nomenclature, [1] "binomi'N'al" with an "N" before the "al", which is not a typographic error, meaning "two-name naming system". [ 2 ] The first part of the name – the generic name – identifies the genus to which the species belongs, whereas the second part – the specific name or specific ...
This glossary of biology terms is a list of definitions of fundamental terms and concepts used in biology, the study of life and of living organisms.It is intended as introductory material for novices; for more specific and technical definitions from sub-disciplines and related fields, see Glossary of cell biology, Glossary of genetics, Glossary of evolutionary biology, Glossary of ecology ...
In taxonomy, binomial nomenclature ("two-term naming system"), also called binary nomenclature, is a formal system of naming species of living things by giving each a name composed of two parts, both of which use Latin grammatical forms, although they can be based on words from other languages.
In biology, a biological life cycle (or just life cycle when the biological context is clear) is a series of stages of the life of an organism, that begins as a zygote, often in an egg, and concludes as an adult that reproduces, producing an offspring in the form of a new zygote which then itself goes through the same series of stages, the ...
publishes ICN the International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants. formerly ICBN or the International Code of Botanical Nomenclature (current version the Shenzhen Code) Chapter F of this Code covers sections pertaining only to Fungi and can be further revised by the Fungal Nomenclature Session of an International Mycological ...
Life cycle interpretation is a systematic technique to identify, quantify, check, and evaluate information from the results of the life cycle inventory and/or the life cycle impact assessment. The results from the inventory analysis and impact assessment are summarized during the interpretation phase.
Common structural elements are present in the embryonic part of the life cycle, which is the diploid multicellular phase. The embryo develops into the sporophyte , which at maturity produces haploid spores , which germinate to produce the gametophyte, the haploid multicellular phase.
