What's the difference between alternating and heterogamous?

Alternating


Definition:

  • (p. pr. & vb. n.) of Alternate

Example Sentences:

  • (8) Core biopsy with computed tomography (CT) or ultrasound (US) guidance may be such an alternative, particularly when a spring-loaded firing device is used.

  • (10) The method used in connection with the well known autoplastic reimplantation not only presents an alternative to the traditional apicoectomy but also provides additional stabilization of the tooth by lengthing the root with cocotostabile and biocompatible A1203 ceramic.
  • (11) While the majority of EU member states, including the UK, do not have a direct interest in the CAR, or in taking action, the alternative is unthinkable.
  • (12) Many examples are given to demonstrate the applications of these programs, and special emphasis has been laid on the problem of treating a point in tissue with different doses per fraction on alternate treatment days.
  • (13) Initiation of the alternative pathway by the cryptococcal capsule is characterized by a lag in C3 accumulation and the appearance of a limited number of focal initiation sites which resemble those observed when the alternative pathway is activated by zymosan and nonencapsulated cryptococci.
  • (14) In our efforts to explore alternative treatment regimens for multidrug-resistant tumors we have examined the sensitivity of MDR tumor cell lines to lymphokine activated killer (LAK) cells.
  • (15) Following treatment with reserpine or alternatively with a combination of phenothiazines (Randolektil, Majeptil) a drug-induced parkinsonoid reaction was provoked in rats.
  • (16) Review of the records of five patients with CPSE treated with radiologic occlusion procedures showed that these are suitable alternatives to surgery.
  • (17) Being the decision-making agent, the rehabilitee must therefore be offered typical situational fragments of a possible educational and vocational future, intended on the one hand to inform him of occupational alternatives and, on the other, to provide initial experience.
  • (18) This study suggests that the BD VACUTAINER agar slant is an acceptable alternative to the Septi-Chek system for routine blood cultures.
  • (19) Treatment failures tend to occur early in the course of follow-up, permitting easy identification of candidates for alternative therapeutic approaches.
  • (20) In view of many ethical and legal problems, connected in some countries with obtaining human fetal tissue for transplantation, cross-species transplants would be an attractive alternative.

Heterogamous


Definition:

  • (a.) The condition of having two or more kinds of flowers which differ in regard to stamens and pistils, as in the aster.
  • (a.) Characterized by heterogamy.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) It is proposed that, by reducing mating speed, inbreeding changes the rate of this sequence but not its pattern, so the apparent level of heterogamic mating will increase during inbreeding, for a fixed observation period.
  • (2) Heterogamous marriages, by contrast, show a higher divorce rate and tend to leave therapy prior to termination.
  • (3) In a multiple-choice mating between two genotypic strains differing in their level of sexual vigor, there is a sequence from heterogamic to homogamic mating.
  • (4) Observations on the genesis of the ascus by light microscopy and transmission electron microscopy provide no evidence for, what some earlier workers in this field have presumed to be, heterogamous conjugation between a mother cell and its bud.
  • (5) This principle states that a biallelic polymorphism is maintained if the heterozygote is superior in its degree of "heterogamous self-replication" to the degrees of "autogamous self-replication" of the corresponding homozygotes.
  • (6) We have observed directly females of Drosophila paulistorum semispecies in choice experiments with both homogamic and heterogamic males.
  • (7) Younger males increasingly tended to select brides of their own age group until the 1960s, while older males have been increasingly heterogamous since World War II.
  • (8) Previous heterogamic copulatory experience did not change the degree of sexual isolation; however, females with homogamic copulatory experience showed a significantly higher preference for homogamic males.
  • (9) An alternative explanation to the pheromonal control of mating through chemoreceptor saturation proposed by Averhoff and Richardson (1974) is offered for the apparent rise in heterogamic mating in their experiments, after several generations of full-sib mating.
  • (10) Thus these unions are termed "symptom object" relationships and are characterologically heterogamous.
  • (11) In most of the crosses homogamic matings outnumber heterogamic ones, and deviation from randomness is statistically significant in 11 of 20 crosses.
