The hoodwinker sunfish is a congener of (in the same genus as) the more widely known ocean sunfish, Mola mola. Mola tecta, like other Mola species, has a flat, almost symmetrical oval shape. It has a smooth body shape, no bump and has a maximum length of 242cm (about 7.9 feet). [5] It does not have spines in its fins nor real caudal fin (tail ...
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 ...
Phyletic gradualism is a model of evolution which theorizes that most speciation is slow, uniform and gradual. [1] When evolution occurs in this mode, it is usually by the steady transformation of a whole species into a new one (through a process called anagenesis ). In this view no clear line of demarcation exists between an ancestral species ...
Hoodwink (comics), fictional character in the Marvel Comics universe. Hoodwink Island, adjacent to Antarctica. The Hoodwinkers, 13th book in the Romney Marsh series of novels by Monica Edwards, published in 1962.
Morphology (biology) Morphology in biology is the study of the form and structure of organisms and their specific structural features. [1] This includes aspects of the outward appearance (shape, structure, color, pattern, size), i.e. external morphology (or eidonomy ), as well as the form and structure of internal parts like bones and organs, i ...
Comparison of natural and synthetic selection processes for peptide generation. In biotechnology, combinatorial biology is the creation of a large number of compounds (usually proteins or peptides) through technologies such as phage display. Similar to combinatorial chemistry, compounds are produced by biosynthesis rather than organic chemistry.
Oscillation (cell signaling) Oscillations are an important type of cell signaling characterized by the periodic change of the system in time. [1] Oscillations can take place in a biological system in a multitude of ways. Positive feedback loops, on their own or in combination with negative feedback are a common feature of oscillating biological ...
Nucleic acid hybridization. In molecular biology, hybridization (or hybridisation) is a phenomenon in which single-stranded deoxyribonucleic acid ( DNA) or ribonucleic acid ( RNA) molecules anneal to complementary DNA or RNA. [1] Though a double-stranded DNA sequence is generally stable under physiological conditions, changing these conditions ...
