What's the difference between precursive and recursive?
Precursive
Definition:
(a.) Preceding; introductory; precursory.

(16) Delayed development of reading skills suggests that precursers of illness may appear early in life before psychosis is evident.
(17) In fasting rats 1,2-propandiol is utilized as a precurser in the synthesis of glycogen and when introduced by the intraperitoneal route it does not influence the rate of the liver glycogen synthesis from glucose.
(18) The results show that there is no precurser pool of outer membrane proteins in the cytoplasmic membrane because first, the incorporation of a [35S]methionine pulse into outer membrane proteins completely parallels its incorporation into cytoplasmic membrane proteins, and second, under optimal isolation conditions, no outer membrane proteins are found in the cytoplasmic membrane, even when the membranes are analysed after being labeled for only 15 s. The [35S]methionine present in the outer membrane after a pulse of 15 s was found in protein fragments of varying sizes rather than in specific outer membrane proteins.
(19) The influence of precursing and concomitant illnesses on the acute signs and sequels of the meningo-encephalitis is stressed upon.
(20) The age at the outbreak of the disease, infection immunity, precursing and concomitant illnesses as well as the onset of medication influence the outcome of the meningo-encephalitis.
Recursive
Definition:
Example Sentences:
(1) The feasibility of estimating these parameters, demonstrated by the present study, suggests that a recursive least squares estimation procedure could be used to recover the time variation of each parameter during exercise stress testing of subjects with normal or nearly normal gas exchange.
(2) We have investigated the properties of a recursive process in which the output signal from a given RF excitation pulse may be used as the input (excitation) pulse of a subsequent iteration.
(3) A simple recursive formula, which yields an estimate for the statistical error resulting from pipetting errors accumulated throughout a dilution procedure, is described.
(4) A new three dimensional (3-D) recursive tracing algorithm was proposed.
(5) In the experimental analog, genetic selection or screening applied during recursive ensemble mutagenesis should force the evolution of an ensemble of mutants to a targeted cluster of related phenotypes.

(7) The equilibrium equation for mixtures of two mutually competitive tight-binding ligands can be expressed in a recursive form, a form in which the dependent variable appears on both sides and the solution is found iteratively.
(8) Given the probability density, f(t), for time spent in the random compartment of the cell cycle, we derive a recursion relation for psi n(x), the probability density for cell size at birth in a sample of cells in generation n. For the case of exponential growth of cells, the recursion relation has no steady-state solution.
(9) Assuming bivariate normal distributions, it is shown that in the latter case genotypic and phenotypic means and variances, and genotype-phenotype correlation can be expressed recursively as functions of the parameters for the selection, environmental, and mutation variance.
