What's the difference between precocious and precociously?
Precocious
Definition:
(a.) Ripe or mature before the proper or natural time; early or prematurely ripe or developed; as, precocious trees.
(a.) Developed more than is natural or usual at a given age; exceeding what is to be expected of one's years; too forward; -- used especially of mental forwardness; as, a precocious child; precocious talents.
Example Sentences:
(1) Locally directed cell migration was observed in a group of cells in 1. which were involved in a process of aggregation, the latter being probably related to precocious formation of organ primordia.
(2) The importance of precocious development for planning teratological studies is emphasized.
(3) We used two experimental paradigms inspired by developmental biology to study how bees obtain information on changing colony needs that results in precocious foraging.
(4) Adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) infusion performed in five patients with precocious adrenarche produced at least a 50 greater than increase in urinary T excretion in all and a similar increase in Adiol excretion in four of five patients.
(5) Most of what is understood about precocious puberty in boys comes from boys with precocious puberty secondary to poorly controlled CAH.
(6) As a precociously talented young artist, his interests didn't lie with landscape or the countryside – "though I did collect frog spawn and things like that" – but more with the advertising, posters and signwriting he saw around town.
(7) The most recently discovered species, Enterocytozoon bieneusi, is known only from the small intestinal enterocytes of patients with the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome, and is easily differentiated from other microsporidia by the precocious development of spore organelles in the sporont and by the poor development of the endospore layer of the spore wall.
(8) Several lines of experimental evidence indicate that contact with the animal pole locus, or "target" region, is crucial for the change in phenotype of the SMCs: (1) the phenotypic change can be induced precociously by bringing the animal pole region within reach of the tip of the archenteron early in gastrulation.
(9) Tumors are rare, but well-documented causes of precocious puberty in both sexes.
(10) Long-acting GnRH agonists are the treatment of choice for central precocious puberty.
(11) The results obtained for the basal cortisol were in disaccordance with a previous report; however, we used a sensitive test to detect precocious involvement of the adrenal glands.
(12) The precocious reformation of the nuclear envelope may be responsible for the lengthening of metaphase.
(13) We propose a model whereby a protein repressor, under the control of PKA, inhibits precocious induction of stalk cell differentiation by DIF and so regulates the choice between slug migration and culmination.
(14) The precocious beginning of psychogenic diabetes insipidus, and some conclusions, on a difficult case of hard diagnosis are emphasized.
(15) Precocious puberty due to other causes can be treated more effectively with inhibitors of steroidogenesis and blockers of androgen action.
(16) In altricial species, embryonic growth rate and metabolic rate increase continuously during incubation, whereas in precocial species, embryonic growth rate declines shortly before hatching so that metabolic rate usually reaches a plateau before hatching.
(17) It remains unclear, however, whether such changes in expression of MAP2 represent a primary effect of the mutation or if it is only a precocious result of Purkinje cell degeneration.
(18) These events appeared to be similar to those occuring in the adult cycling rat, in precocious puberty induced by the administration of pregnant mare serum gonadotropins and during the onset of natural puberty.
(19) Recent evidence suggests that a group of children exists in whom premature sexual maturation occurs in the absence of pubertal levels of gonadotropins; that is, they have gonadotropin-independent precocious puberty.
(20) The mother of an 11-year-old epileptic, mentally retarded, and sexually precocious girl asked to have the girl sterilized.
