Definition of monomorphic in English:

monomorphic

adjective ˌmɒnə(ʊ)ˈmɔːfɪkˌmɑnəˈmɔrfɪk
Biology
  • 1Having or existing in only one form.

    单态的,单型的,尤指

    Example sentencesExamples
    • Roughly one-half of the microsatellites they isolated in one species were monomorphic in the other and have presumably lost their ability to mutate.
    • The aromatic group had a high proportion of monomorphic loci suggestive of a severe or recent bottleneck.
    • Three of the loci were monomorphic in all populations.
    • The type species of Pleuronectites is not monomorphic but shows a substantial range of variation from its earliest to latest occurrences in the Muschelkalk of the Germanic Basin.
    • Loci are commonly chosen because they were known to be polymorphic in the population studied, while monomorphic loci were not genotyped or discarded from analysis.
    1. 1.1 (of a species or population) showing little or no variation in morphology or phenotype.
      (物种或种群)单形的
      Example sentencesExamples
      • There were also large differences between populations in diversity, some of the populations being monomorphic and some polymorphic.
      • Nevertheless, frequencies of monomorphic populations were homogeneous over zoogeographical regions.
      • The carcinoma consisted of nests of tumor composed of a relatively monomorphic cell population with round nuclei, evenly distributed chromatin, and scanty cytoplasm.
      • The exceptionally low content of T. dubius units in some 2603-33 plants closely resembles the monomorphic phenotype often seen in relatively ancient allopolyploids.
      • The lesion was a lobulated circumscribed tumor mass composed microscopically of a monomorphic population of ductal cells.
    2. 1.2 (of an animal species) having sexes that are similar in size and appearance.
      (动物物种)雌雄同型的
      Example sentencesExamples
      • Only the ornament-carrying males were observed for the dimorphic species, while both males and females may have been observed for the monomorphic species.
      • Molecular sexing can provide an added benefit, especially for sexually monomorphic species.
      • Siberian jays are sexually monomorphic with a substantial overlap in size between sexes.
      • Unlike many socially polygynous species, house wrens are sexually monomorphic; both sexes are a fairly uniform brownish gray.
      • Many bird species are morphologically monomorphic for external characters that would differentiate the sexes; sex identification in populations is often problematic.

Derivatives

  • monomorphism

  • noun ˌmɒnə(ʊ)ˈmɔːfɪz(ə)mˌmɑnəˈmɔrˌfɪzəm
    Biology
    • The increase in tail length in M. leucopterus is shown to a greater extent in the males, resulting in sexual monomorphism.
      Example sentencesExamples
      • Consistent with these predictions, monogamy is correlated with sexual monomorphism and polygamy is correlated with sexual dimorphism.
      • This monomorphism, in at least one duplicate, does not allow segregation between duplicates, which is necessary to determine whether loci are or are not linked.
      • The temperate japonica and aromatic populations also had the highest incidence of monomorphism, with 15 and 21 monomorphic loci, respectively.
      • Indeed, initial evidence based on allozymes indicated widespread genetic monomorphism in submerged plants, suggesting a much larger role for clonal than for sexual propagation.
  • monomorphous

  • adjective
    Biology
    • The cells were monomorphous with oval nuclei, but also showed elongated and spindled features.
      Example sentencesExamples
      • These lesions were characterized by a monomorphous pattern of slender, elongated spindle cells in a sclerotic stroma.
      • Cytologie preparations contained a predominantly monomorphous population of tumor cells with moderate eosinophilic cytoplasm with fine, elongated cytoplasmic processes.
      • The biopsies from the gastric lesion showed a marked expansion of the lamina propria due to an infiltration of monomorphous cells with eosinophilic cytoplasm and eccentric nuclei.
      • The relatively monomorphous cell population of epithelioid sarcoma contrasts with the mixed complement of inflammatory cells often observed in granulomatous inflammation.

Origin
