What's the difference between opiparous and oviparous?
Opiparous
Definition:
(a.) Sumptuous.
Example Sentences:
Oviparous
Definition:
(a.) Producing young from rggs; as, an oviparous animal, in which the egg is generally separated from the animal, and hatched after exclusion; -- opposed to viviparous.
Example Sentences:
(1) These putative mutations, designated "total mutation," can be recognized only in embryos of oviparous animals.
(2) These results show that resorption of the yolk during follicular atresia in an oviparous vertebrate is correlated with the presence of egg yolk proteins combined with HDL in the plasma.
(3) The stationary and oviparous E. gallinacea and T. penetrans reveal an extensive and irreversible change of their midgut epithelium.
(4) The ligand specificity of the avian oocyte lipoprotein receptor supports the hypothesis that vitellogenin, which has evolved in oviparous species, represents a counterpart to mammalian apolipoprotein E.
(5) Progesterone (P), 17-OH-progesterone (17-OH-P), androstenedione (A), dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA), testosterone (T), 5 alpha-dihydrotestosterone (5 alpha-DHT), and 17 beta-estradiol (E2) were measured by RIA in plasma and testes of 114 males of the oviparous lizard Podarcis s. sicula raf, a species that displays annual hibernating cycles.
(6) The structural and functional importance of eggshell magnesium--mainly in the cone layer--for embryonic viability and hatchability of oviparous species supports the hypothesis that magnesium deficit may have had a direct role in dinosaur extinction.
(7) We investigated the regulation of Re by progesterone in a mammalian model (proestrous hamster uterus) and an avian model (DES-primed chick oviduct), under the same assay conditions, in an effort to compare progesterone action in viviparous and oviparous species.
(8) These conditions may still exist in present-day oviparous amphibians.
(9) In this paper is also presented a discussion about the different modes of reproduction oviparity and viviparity (placental and non-placental) and their variations according to families, genus and species.
(10) Many dinosaurs were oviparous, producing hard-shelled eggs, yet the reproductive system of dinosaurs has proven difficult to investigate, due to poor preservation of soft anatomy.
(11) Vitellogenesis is the process of yolk formation in rapidly growing oocytes of oviparous species.
(12) No dichotomy exists among oviparous, amniotic vertebrates with respect to sources of calcium used by developing embryos, but one does exist with respect to patterns of mobilization of this element.
(13) In oviparous vertebrates estrogens induce hepatic synthesis of vitellogenin (VG), a blood protein sequestered in vitellogenic oocytes and from which lipovitellin (LV) and phosvitin are derived.
(14) This similarity of reproductive functional morphology between crocodilians and birds may implicate the evolution of an archosaurian mode of oviparity that may shed light on dinosaur reproduction.
(15) The old females are oviparous, but eggs contain a third stage infective larva.
(16) It is suggested that measurement of plasma zinc provides a simple and accurate technique for the estimation of vitellogenin production and reproductive status in the domestic fowl and that this may be applied to other oviparous vertebrates.
(17) This fish is oviparous and breeds once a year during the rainy season (July throught September).
(18) We suggest that in ancestral amphibians with oviparity and external fertilization, eggs moved rapidly through the oviduct after ovulation and that ovarian and oviducal PGF served as an endocrine hormone coordinating oviducal contractions and central nervous system-controlled oviposition behavior.
(19) We report a phenomenon previously unknown for oviparous animals; in Aedes aegypti mosquitoes a serine carboxypeptidase is synthesized extraovarially and then internalized by oocytes.
(20) Relaxin plays a critical role in viviparity and has recently been implicated as a hormone of oviparity as well.
