Definition of monomorphic in English: monomorphicadjective 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 (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.
- 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.
