What's the difference between conger and scaleless?
Conger
Definition:
(n.) The conger eel; -- called also congeree.
Example Sentences:

(4) When the present results are compared to those of Newmark, Conger and Faschinbauer (1976) and earlier work by Fashcinbauer (1973), it appears that the FAM yields interpretation as accurate as one would expect given its psychometric dissimilarity from the MMPI.
(5) This microsomal enzyme could be the last of a membranous biosynthetic pathway for UDP-glucose, as conger liver microsomes contain also a membranous glucokinase and a membranous phosphoglucomutase.

(8) A conger was obtained which was heterozygous for the variant allele at the muscle-glucosephosphate isomerase locus.
(9) Serotonin-like immunoreactivity was found in the club cells of Heteropneustes fossilis and Carapus acus but not in those from the sea eel Conger conger.
(10) The production of amines may indicate that the Merkel cells of C. conger have both secretory capabilities and transduction functions.
(11) The skin mucus of the conger eel, Conger myriaster, contains galactose-specific agglutinins.
(12) A comparison of the variant conger muscle isozyme with the wild type revealed a single altered peptide, suggesting a point mutation.
(13) Quantitative receptor autoradiographic study of 125I-atrial natriuretic peptide factor (ANF) in the heart of a teleost fish Conger conger has shown that a heterogenous distribution of 125I-ANF binding exists in the different cardiac regions.
(14) The isozymes were isolated from catfish liver and muscle and from conger muscle and shown to be homogeneous by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, isoelectric focusing, analytical ultracentrifugation, and rechromatography.
(15) Leukocyte and kidney cell cultures were used to examine the sex chromosomes of Japanese freshwater eels (Anguilla japonica) and conger eels (Astroconger myriaster).
(16) The amino-acid sequence of a beta-galactoside-binding lectin isolated from the skin mucus of the conger eel Conger myriaster was determined.
(17) Immunocytochemical techniques were used to investigate the distribution and co-localization of neuron-specific enolase (NSE) and serotonin (5-HT) in the skin of the conger eel, Conger conger.
Scaleless
Definition:
(a.) Destitute of scales.
Example Sentences:
(1) In warmer water (18 degrees C), the parasites reproduced intensively only on the scaly form of fish, whereas no parasites were found on the scaleless form some days after infection.
(2) Tenascin is not found in scaleless anterior metatarsal dermis at this time.
(3) It is inferred that without being associated with scale placode formation, scaleless low line anterior foot dermis does not acquire specific inductive capacities related to the production of an outer scale surface in the overlying epidermis.
(4) Tenascin's initial appearance and pattern of distribution in the scutate scale dermis and its abnormal expression in the scaleless dermis suggest that morphogenesis plays a significant role in regulation of its expression.
(5) RNA with beta keratin sequences appeared in scaleless skin between stages 40 and 41, was greatly diminished by stage 44, and was no longer present at stage 46.
(6) It was concluded that, in relation to abnormal feathering, these tissue interactions reveal that the site of the scaleless gene's activity is the epidermis.
(7) Against a common responding tissue, 7-day normal back epidermis, significant differences were not found in feather inducing ability between normal, scaleless high line and scaleless low line dermis.
(8) The development of skin and feathers in highly feathered scaleless mutants and normal Single Comb White Leghorn chick embryos was analyzed histologically.
(9) We have examined the protein synthetic profile of embryonic chick dermis from different regions of both wild-type and scaleless mutant embryos by two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis to determine if differences in inductive capability are associated with different patterns of gene expression.
(10) In combination with dermis from the anterior shank skin of the scaleless mutant, the chorionic epithelium forms an epidermis whose ultrastructural features are indistinguishable from those seen along the inner surface of normal scales and along the anterior shank of the scaleless mutant.
(11) According to the model, the focus of the scaleless mutation and the genes accumulated by selection for high or low feather numbers is the epidermis, the effect being that the reactivity of the epidermis to dermal stimuli is altered.
(12) In normal reticulate scales, which like scaleless skin, do not develop a beta stratum accumulation of RNA with beta-keratin sequences was limited to a brief embryonic period between stages 42 and 44.
(13) The results clearly showed defects in the dermis at the time of reassociation, giving rise to scalelessness.
(14) The basic pattern thus appears to have been destroyed by the scaleless mutation, and the alteration of the phenotype accomplished by selection has not apparently restored its control.
(15) The site of the scaleless gene's activity in the development of abnormal feathers was determined by reciprocally recombining epidermis and dermis between normal and scaleless chick embryos and culturing the recombinants for seven days on the chorioallantoic membrane.
(16) The most striking feature of scaleless high line feather development is the widespread appearance of condensed or nearly condensed dermis.
(17) The anterior metatarsal region of the scaleless mutant does not undergo scale morphogenesis.
(18) The PAGGE patterns of polypeptides isolated from normal and scaleless reticulate scale epidermis (from 1-week-old chicks) differed by only one band, whereas comparison of mutant's scuttate and reticulate patterns showed three band differences.
(19) Scaleless mutant dermis, which does not participate in feather or scale formation in vivo, synthesizes all of the dorsal dermis-specific or tarsometatarsal dermis-specific proteins appropriate to its regional origin.
(20) Correlations between the patterns of beta-keratin expression and histological events suggest that the brief accumulation of beta-keratin mRNA in scaleless skin and normal reticulate scales is related to the formation of the subperiderm (a protective layer of cells, peculiar to embryonic skin) while the continuous accumulation of beta-keratin mRNA during scutate scale development reflects the formation of a beta stratum.
