The phrase "a basic body" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used when referring to a simple or fundamental structure, often in contexts related to anatomy, design, or composition.
Example: "In our biology class, we learned about a basic body structure of mammals, which includes the head, torso, and limbs."
Alternatives: "a fundamental structure" or "a simple form".
All species of Chlamydomonas share a basic body plan.
The interaction of these proteins lays down a basic body pattern, and this is where sonic hedgehog (SHH) comes in.
By evolving variations on a basic body plan, they have achieved remarkable dexterity in a wide range of environmental niches.
By step 4 I've learnt that you can't understand a basic body language brush-off and are therefore a direct threat to my personal safety.
The vertebrate zebrafish shares a basic body plan with other vertebrates, including man, and yet has many of the biological properties of invertebrate models such as rapid generation time, small size, cost-effective rearing, and optical clarity of embryos.
You start with a basic body type wrapped around a standard skeleton, and then you can pretty much do whatever you want to it: stretch it out, condense it, add seven asymmetrical legs and one pincer, give it eyes on both sides of its head or wrap a polka-dot skin texture around it.
The Bug passed the Model T at 16.5 million in 1973 and while both Volkswagen and Toyota claim higher totals for the Golf and Corolla respectively, those cars under-went generational changes while the Beetles evolution occurred within a single basic body.
All vertebrates have a similar basic body plan and at some point in their lives, (mostly in the embryonic stage), share the major chordate characteristics; a stiffening rod, the notochord; a dorsal hollow tube of nervous material, the neural tube; pharyngeal slits; and a tail posterior to the anus.
In reciprocal crosses using 2n and 4n in certain ecotypes or using 2n and 6n, embryos arrest with an undisturbed basic body plan but accompanied with precocious endosperm cellularization or discrupted cellularization based on the directions of the crosses (Scott et al. 1998).
Although many turtles do conform to that stereotype, there is still a wide degree of variation on that "four legs, a beak, and a shell" bauplan (basic body blueprint).
