What's the difference between dumpiness and dumpy?
Dumpiness
Definition:
(n.) The state of being dumpy.
Example Sentences:
(1) Homozygotes are rather dumpy mice of approximately normal weight but with short limbs and tail.
(2) While the masculinization is blocked by mutations in sex determining genes required for male development (her-1 and fem-3), the lethality, dumpiness and overexpression of X-linked genes are not, indicating that the effect of sdc-2 mutations on sex determination and dosage compensation are ultimately implemented by two independent pathways.
(3) The nonmuscle mutations include dumpy and uncoordinated types that have no obvious direct effect on muscle organization.
(4) This wing shape resembles that of the mutant dumpy.
(5) Nixon’s wife has been described as “short and dumpy” and “burly in a beige jacket”.
(6) Double mutants constructed from rollers and dumpy mutants that are short and fat indicate dumpy phenotype is epistatic to roller.
(7) Twenty-eight independent sdc-2 mutations have no apparent effect in XO animals, but cause two distinct phenotypes in XX animals: masculinization, reflecting a defect in sex determination, and lethality or dumpiness, reflecting a disruption in dosage compensation.
(8) By mapping and complementation tests, we found that these suppressors are mutations of known dumpy (dpy) genes; dpy genes are required for development of normal body shape.
(9) A short, dumpy Londoner who was not, in the words of some who knew him, one of the world's greatest thinkers, Berjawi had been fighting for months in Somalia with al-Shabaab, the Islamist militant group.
(10) On the other hand, administration of these drugs to the mutant dumpy strain increases wing length, and flies with normal wings are obtained.
(11) I didn’t see dumpy 11-year-olds with basin haircuts.
(12) These data lend support to the thesis that (1) complete dumpy mutations of the olv and ov types are more frequently associated with chromosomal aberrations than those of the ol, lv, o, v and c types, and (2) fractional mutations and complete mutations of the (ol, lv, o, v, c) types are most probably point mutational events.
(13) The effectiveness of 14.1 MeV neutrons relative to 200 kV X-rays for the induction of the various kinds of dumpy mutation in mature sperm of Drosophila melanogaster was investigated.
(14) Mutations in the Caenorhabditis elegans dpy-13 (dumpy) gene result in a short, chunky body shape.
(15) Our results indicate that in dumpy and taxi mutants, there are no detectable modifications in the neural projections or in the number and morphology of sensory receptors.
(16) Mutant alleles of sqt-1 can interact to produce animals with a variety of mutant phenotypes: left roller, right roller, dumpy and long.
(17) Tests included those for sex-linked lethals, sex-linked visibles, a specific visible (dumpy), and translocations.
(18) Recessive and dominant epistasis of several dumpy mutations over the blistered phenotype was observed.
(19) Linden’s are dumpy, but she wears hers as a moral vest.
(20) The second short and dumpy cells are few in number and are after seen near the ostium.
