What's the difference between hermaphrodism and monoecious?

Hermaphrodism


Definition:

  • (n.) See Hermaphroditism.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) The Rokitansky-Küster syndrome was found in 16 women, and pseudomale hermaphrodism in two.
  • (2) The in vitro biosynthesis of estrogens and androgens by gonadal tissues of the ovotestes was studied in three siblings with familial true hermaphrodism and correlated with daily steroid and gonadotropin plasma levels.
  • (3) TDFA shows somewhat variable expression in XX individuals often causing genital ambiguity or true hermaphrodism.
  • (4) Associated anomalies were ano-rectal malformations (1 case), male hermaphrodism (1 case), lipoma and tethered cord in 3 patients, myelocystocele in 1 case.
  • (5) Four cases of male pseudo-hermaphrodism were seen post pubertal.
  • (6) Less common than pseudohermaphrodism is true hermaphrodism, wherein both testicular and ovarian tissue is present in various combinations.

Monoecious


Definition:

  • (a.) Having the sexes united in one individual, as when male and female flowers grow upon the same individual plant; hermaphrodite; -- opposed to dioecious.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) The equivalent monoecious fitnesses must be calculated by weighting each sex by the number of genes carried by an individual at the locus under consideration.
  • (2) A very general partial differential equation in space and time satisfied by the gene frequency in a monoecious population distributed continuously over an arbitrary habitat is derived.
  • (3) A continuous time selection model is formulated for a diploid monoecious population with multiple alleles at each of an arbitrary number of loci, incorporating differential fertility and mortality as well as arbitrary mating and age structure.
  • (4) Results are obtained for populations in drift and mutation balance, for infinite populations undergoing mixed self and random mating, and for finite monoecious populations with or without selfing.
  • (5) The above results apply to autosomal loci in monoecious (with or without selfing) and dioecious populations and to X-linked loci.
  • (6) Some stochastic theory is developed for monoecious populations of size N in which there are probabilities beta and 1 - beta of reproduction by selfing and by random mating.
  • (7) In a survey of the gonads of 97 species of North American freshwater mussels representing 59 genera, only four species were found to be hermaphroditic (monoecious).
  • (8) The technique has been successful in both dioecious and monoecious families with short chromosomes.
  • (9) The ultimate rate and pattern of approach to equilibrium of a diploid, monoecious population subdivided into a finite number of equal, large, panmictic colonies are calculated.
  • (10) We study the behavior of cytonuclear disequilibria in a finite monoecious population due to (1) random drift alone, (2) random drift and mutation, and (3) random drift and migration, using exact results on the RUZ (Random Union of Zygotes) model and diffusion approximations.
  • (11) is fertilized by small biflagellate spermatozoids and both monoecious and dioecious species are found.
  • (12) Discrete, nonoverlapping generations are posited for autosomal and X-linked loci in dioecious populations, but monoecious populations are studied in both discrete and continuous time.
  • (13) Generations are discrete and nonoverlapping; the monoecious population mates at random.
  • (14) The effects of ID on the additive by additive (a*a) epistatic variance and joint dominance component between populations and in the additive, dominance and a*a variance within populations, including the effects on covariances of relatives within populations, were studied for finite monoecious populations.
  • (15) Effects and variances are defined for an initial equilibrium random mating monoecious population that gives rise to replicate finite populations.
  • (16) Diffusion approximations are established for the multiallelic, two-locus Wright-Fisher model for mutation, selection, and random genetic drift in a finite, panmictic, monoecious, diploid population.
  • (17) Assuming age-independent fertilities and mortalities and random mating, continuous-time models for a monoecious population are investigated for weak selection.
  • (18) O(s)), where s is the selection intensity, the population evolves as if it were monoecious.
  • (19) The monoecious, diploid population is subdivided into panmictic colonies that exchange migrants.
  • (20) Application of 2-chloroethanephosphonic acid (120 to 240 parts per million) to monoecious cucumber plants when the first true leaf was 2 centimeters in diameter has resulted in as many as 19 continuous pistillate nodes.
