Replication


Definition:

  • (n.) An answer; a reply.
  • (n.) The reply of the plaintiff, in matters of fact, to the defendant's plea.

  • (n.) A repetition; a copy.

Example Sentences:

  • (2) Assessment of the likelihood of replication in humans has included in vitro exposure of human cells to the potential pesticidal agent.
  • (3) Apparently, the irradiation with visible light of a low intensity creates an additional proton gradient and thus stimulates a new replication and division cycle in the population of cells whose membranes do not have delta pH necessary for the initiation of these processes.
  • (4) In each study, all subjects underwent four replications (over two days) of one of the six permutations of the three experimental conditions; each condition lasted 5 min.
