    Compare with phylogenesis
    Example sentencesExamples

    • Some degree of variation seems attributable to ontogenesis, as large morphological distances are observed between young and adult specimens.
    • Ductal plate malformation results from persistence or absence of remodeling of the embryonic ductal plate during ontogenesis.
    • The concepts of penetrance and expressivity and also of the systemic regulation of the formation of phenotypic traits - the foundation of phenogenetics and the genetics of ontogenesis.

Derivatives

  • ontogenetic

  • adjective ˌɒntə(ʊ)dʒɪˈnɛtɪk
    Biology

      Example sentencesExamples
      • In some species, males facultatively or ontogenetically switch between these tactics, and in other species the tactics appear to be fixed for an individual's lifetime.
      • Thus, the resultant planktonic cephalopods are probably trapped, either evolutionarily or ontogenetically.
      • Combined with their occasionally distinctive morphologies, it would appear that they represent structures ontogenetically and functionally distinct from the botuliform cells.
      • In the other clade characterized by a static level of disparity, Clade 5 the structure changes ontogenetically, although more subtly than in Clade 4.

Origin

Late 19th century: from Greek ōn, ont- 'being' + genesis 'birth'.
