What's the difference between parthenogenesis and parthenogenetic?
Parthenogenesis
Definition:
(n.) The production of new individuals from virgin females by means of ova which have the power of developing without the intervention of the male element; the production, without fertilization, of cells capable of germination. It is one of the phenomena of alternate generation. Cf. Heterogamy, and Metagenesis.
(n.) The production of seed without fertilization, believed to occur through the nonsexual formation of an embryo extraneous to the embrionic vesicle.
Example Sentences:
(1) O. puertoricensis did not exhibit autogeny or parthenogenesis.
(2) Cyclical parthenogenesis exaggerates the force of selection relative to recombination and will therefore enhance interlocus effects.
(3) Fertilization anomalies (possibly increased by in vitro procedures) were recorded: 1.6% of embryos resulted from parthenogenesis and 6.4% were polyploid (mainly polyspermic).
(4) Now, productive colonies of these lizards, which have remarkably little genetic variation, can be readily established and used not only for research on parthenogenesis but also for many kinds of experiments for which reptile systems are desirable.
(5) This rapid and extensive range expansion provides strong evidence that parthenogenesis can be a successful strategy for lizards in an environment with low and unpredictable rainfall.
(6) We used a comparison between cleavage rates and fertilization rates according to chromosomal analysis of oocytes to estimate the parthenogenesis frequency.
(7) These populations are thus panmictic, and most likely reproduce by cyclical parthenogenesis.
(8) Rickettsia-like maternally inherited bacteria have been shown to be involved in a variety of alterations of arthropod sexuality, such as female-biased sex ratios, parthenogenesis, and sterility of crosses either between infected males and uninfected females or between infected individuals (cytoplasmic incompatibility).
(9) There was no significant difference in parthenogenesis between any of the culture media and it appears to be a function of the strain of mice and the timing between human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) injection and ovum collection.
(10) Parthenogenesis frequency was increased by male sexual rest.
(11) The causes for the variability of parthenogenesis indices in the polyploid clones are discussed.
(12) In vitro fertilization enabled the study of lethal (parthenogenesis) or sublethal (triploidy, monosomy and trisomy) chromosomal abnormalities in man.
(13) Methylamine appeared to activate oocytes, and most of them developed by haploid parthenogenesis.
(14) It is suggested that males are heteromorphic for the long homologue due to chromatin diminution, that occurs in the maturation division of mitotic parthenogenesis.
(15) A time-course experiment demonstrated that the extent of parthenogenetic activation in vivo following Br treatment was related to the period of time between drug injection and isolation of ova, the optimal period being 12 h. Neither Br nor MA had a direct activating effect on the oocytes as evidenced by an inability to induce parthenogenesis in vitro.
(16) Since calf thymocyte centrosomes do not support parthenogenesis, the present results suggest that duplication of the foreign centrosome is required for centrosome-induced parthenogenesis.
(17) The oocytes were prepared by a combined enzyme-mechanical method without impairing the fertility of the oocyte or inducing parthenogenesis.
(18) Comparisons are made with previously published models that deal with monogamous mating and with parthenogenesis.
(19) Parthenogenesis can only evolve in areas devoid of the generating bisexual species, because such species would prevent newly formed unisexuals from establishing clones due either to hybridization or competition.
(20) The evolutionary switch from paternal to maternal inheritance in mammals might be related to the additional dangers that parthenogenesis represents: a threat to the life of the mother as well as to the life of the fetus.
Parthenogenetic
Definition:
(a.) Of, pertaining to, or produced by, parthenogenesis; as, parthenogenetic forms.
Example Sentences:
(1) Interspecific hybridization between sexual species carrying different b-alleles and producing different B subunits may be responsible for the heterozygosity at the lactate dehydrogenase b-locus in diploid parthenogenetic Cnemidophours.
(2) The parthenogenetic controls were negative (1.4% and 0%).
(3) These findings demonstrate a new and simple method of inducing post-implantation parthenogenetic development in the mouse, and stress the necessity of taking into account the possible consequences of anaesthesia in the early post-ovulatory period.
(4) The postimplantation viability of parthenogenetic eggs was tested and the results showed that parthenogenetic rabbit embryos died at a similar stage of development to the parathenogenetic mouse embryos.
(5) The accumulating process and concentration ratios of ingested blood meals in the larvae and nymphs of Amblyomma testudinarium, Haemaphysalis campanulata, H. concinna, H. formosensis, H. hystricis, H. kitaokai, the bisexual and parthenogenetic strains of H. longicornis, H. megaspinosa, and Ixodes persulcatus on rabbits and Argas japonicus on chickens were comparatively investigated.
(6) However, the contribution of parthenogenetic cells to the brain does appear to be influenced by strain background, since a marked improvement in the survival of CFLP, 129 and perhaps SWR parthenogenetic cells in chimeric brains was observed compared with F2 cells.
(7) Prolonged in vitro culture of oocytes after parthenogenetic activation and diploidization treatment showed that formed pronuclei were able to fuse and single prometaphase to telophase mitotic cleavage figures developed in all oocytes fixed 28 h after activation, except one cytochalasin B-treated oocyte with two prometaphase sets of chromosomes.
(8) The presence of duplications in all of these parthenogens, but not among representatives of their maternal sexual ancestors, suggests that the duplications arose in the parthenogenetic form.
(9) Freshly ovulated rabbit oocytes were activated parthenogenetically by periodically repeated calcium stimuli generated by electric field pulses applied onto the plasma membrane.
(10) Two morphologically different generations of nematodes, gamagenetic and parthenogenetic ones, develop in the body cavity of the insects.
(11) Parthenogenetic embryos display a fairly normal development until implantation.
(12) We determined the morphological survival rate, the pattern of parthenogenetic activation, and the microtubular and chromosomal organization.
(13) A high frequency of parthenogenetic activation occurs when ovulated mouse oocytes are briefly exposed to a dilute solution of ethanol in vitro.
(14) By 6.5 days, however, in almost every embryo, parthenogenetically derived cells were not detected in the extraembryonic trophoblast tissue descended from the TE.
(15) Southern blot analysis of all populations shows that they can be grouped into three classes: a) American bisexuals; b) Eurasian bisexuals, and c) parthenogenetic organisms (all from Eurasia).
(16) Despite these losses there has been a large increase in fecundity in the parthenogenetic strain.
(17) Past experiments on teratocarcinoma induction by ectopic grafting of early rodent embryos or fetal germinal ridges have remained ambiguous because embryos ordinarily soon form germ cells, and parthenogenetic germ cells form "embryos."
(18) Oocytes exhibited isolated maturative changes almost exclusively in FSH-LH cultures, such as cortical granule synthesis, resumption of meiosis, polar body extrusion, and two-cell parthenogenetic cleavage.
(19) The parthenogenetic Haemaphysalis longicornis larvae engorged on cattle naturally infected with Theileria sergenti were reared at 24 degrees C. The resultant nymphal ticks were incubated at 37 degrees C to clear the effect of incubation on the development and maturation of sporozoites.
(20) Blebbing exists only in oocytes activated by sperm in vivo or in vitro, or parthenogenetically by treatment with ethanol or puromycin.
