What's the difference between metazoan and metazoon?

Metazoan

Definition:

(n.) One of the Metazoa.

Example Sentences:

(1) Because ctenophore and all other known metazoan mtDNA is circular, the shared occurrence of linear mtDNA in three of the four cnidarian classes suggests a basal position for the Anthozoa within the phylum.
(2) There is also some evidence that this exists in metazoan cells and is perhaps involved in neoplastic transformation.
(3) The origin of metazoa implies the passage from an eukarote protozoan to a protozygote ancestor of a metazoan zygote.
(4) The protein genes are the same as 12 of the 13 protein genes found in other metazoan mtDNAs: Cyt b, cytochrome b; COI-III, cytochrome c oxidase subunits I-III; ATPase6, Fo ATPase subunit 6; ND1-6 and 4L, NADH dehydrogenase subunits 1-6 and 4L: a gene for ATPase subunit 8, common to other metazoan mtDNAs, has not been identified in nematode mtDNAs.
(5) Yeast counterparts of the metazoan spliceosomal snRNAs (U1, U2, U4, U5 and U6) have been identified but, with the exception of U6, the yeast snRNAs are larger and sequence similarity is limited to short regions.
(6) PCR also proved to be a rapid method for identifying homeobox sequences from diverse metazoan species.
(7) The earliest metazoans, when symmetrical at all, were probably radial in symmetry.
(8) The most probable hypothesis is that of a symbiotic origin of the first zygote by association of two protists one signifying a spherical oocell and the other a flagellated spermatozoan; this could be the first step of the metazoan ontogenesis and therefore also of the phylogenesis.
(9) A summary of the metazoan parasites reported from A. rufa is included.
(10) Comparison of the sequences obtained from the different species indicate that the metazoan lineages all appear to have arisen at approximately the same time and significantly later than the time of divergence of yeast from the common ancestor of the Metazoa.
(11) Movements, manifest as changes in cell arrangements and shape, are an integral part of metazoan development.
(12) The role of convergent extension in gastrulation of other amphibians and other metazoans and its significance to related problems in early development are discussed.
(13) The structure of Pit-1 and its recognition elements suggests that metazoan tissue phenotype is controlled by a family of transcription factors that bind to related cis-active elements and contain several highly conserved domains.
(14) We also mutagenized a portion of the yeast core subdomain, a region conserved in primary and secondary structure among several yeast species but absent from the much smaller metazoan U1 molecule.
(15) Although multiple infections often confounded interpretation it was concluded that the major infectious diseases, of approximately equal importance, were coccidiosis, bacterial septicaemia with Gram-negative organisms, and metazoan parasitism including ascariasis and pentastomiasis.
(16) This work demonstrates that conversion takes place at an appreciable frequency between tandem repeats in metazoan germline.
(17) PI did not cochromatograph with any of the catecholamines commonly thought to be involved in immune responses of dipterans against metazoan parasites, suggesting that it may be a unique substrate for these reactions.
(18) Formation of the 3' end of U1 and U2 small nuclear RNA (snRNA) precursors is directed by a conserved sequence called the 3' box located 9 to 28 nucleotides downstream of all metazoan U1 to U4 snRNA genes sequenced so far.
(19) Cloning of three Antennapedia-related sequences from cnidarians provides evidence of ancient roles for homeobox genes early in metazoan evolution.
(20) Implications of a replicon basis for chromatin structure-function and the evolution of metazoan organisms are considered.
