What's the difference between dehiscence and dispersal?

Dehiscence


Definition:

  • (n.) The act of gaping.
  • (n.) A gaping or bursting open along a definite line of attachment or suture, without tearing, as in the opening of pods, or the bursting of capsules at maturity so as to emit seeds, etc.; also, the bursting open of follicles, as in the ovaries of animals, for the expulsion of their contents.

Dispersal


Definition:

  • (n.) The act or result of dispersing or scattering; dispersion.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) The results also suggest that the dispersed condition of pigment in the melanophores represents the "resting state" of the melanophores when they are under no stimulation.
