Rooster
Definition:
(n.) The male of the domestic fowl; a cock.
Example Sentences:
(1) To investigate the adaptive responses of immature bone to increased loads, young (3-wk-old) White Leghorn roosters were subjected to moderately intense treadmill running for 5 or 9 wk.
(2) A single mRNA of 1.3 kb was detected at high levels in heart and brain of 10-week-old roosters, and, at lower levels in spleen, liver and skeletal muscle.
(3) Reports of neurotoxic agents causing adverse effects on the male reproductive system initiated the present study which was designed to examine the effects of TOCP on the rooster.
(4) In the roosters the kidney contained approximately five times as much Se as the muscle.
(5) A recent re-determination of the rooster protamine amino acid sequence (28 residues from the N terminus) matches that predicted from the genome rather than the sequence of Nakano et al.
