What's the difference between stalklike and stalky?
Stalklike
Definition:
Example Sentences:
(1) The electrocytes of mormyrids are disc-shaped cells with distinct anterior and posterior faces, and a series of evaginations of one face that form a stalklike structure that is the site of innervation by spinal electromotoneurons (Bass: J. Comp.
(2) This association frequently takes the form of a stalklike extension of the mesosome penetrating into the chromatin fibrils.
(3) The epitope for A4.1 lies within the amino terminal half of the central stalklike region of TS which is distinct from the three known cell attachment sites.
(4) The protein kinase C activator phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) induces rapid and reversible shape changes in cultured fibroblasts: extension of motile lamellas is followed by transformation of these lamellas into nonmotile stalklike processes.
(5) These areas are the sites at which the stalklike connections extending from the cristae are inserted at the inner surface membrane, whereby the cristae are connected to the proteinaceous pathways that according to Sjöstrand and Candipan (1985) pass through the two surface membranes establishing a connection between the cristae and the cytosol.
(6) A specific, 0.1-0.3-microm large ribonucleoprotein complex consisting of a central core with stalklike extensions on top of which 280-320-A ribonucleoprotein particles are situated is found in an experimentally activated chromosome region, 2-48C, of the polytene chromosomes of Drosophila hydei.
Stalky
Definition:
(a.) Hard as a stalk; resembling a stalk.
Example Sentences:
(1) Dd31 mRNA does not accumulate in the homeotic mutant stalky in which prespore cells are converted to stalk cells rather than spores.
(2) Analysis of mature spores and of the stalky mutant HL 65 revealed that the protein is present only in prespore cells.
(3) The data in this communication show that the 'stalky' character of fruits derived from front quarters persists even if the cells of the front quarter are disaggregated and hence to reaggregate before fruiting.
(4) After that, three to four distinct homogeneous films were adsorbed on top of each other within 10 s and an uneven, knotted structure developed with stalky projections on the outer surface.
(5) Mature microscopic sarcocyst appeared at 120 days p.i, and these were characterized by presence of stalky leaf-like protrusions in their primary cyst wall.
