gametophyte -- The haploid stage in the life cycle of an organism undergoing alternations of generations.
sporophyte -- The diploid stage in the life cycle of an organism undergoing an alternation of generations.
Nanolubricant refrigerant mixture used in vapor-compressor refrigeration system undergoes continuous alternation processes of condensation and evaporation, during which it degrades gradually as a result of the nanoparticle deposition.
As to development and progression of squamous esophageal carcinoma, we speculate that lack or loss of GST pi protein expression may predispose a normal cell to undergo further genetic alternations, raising risks of malignant changes ultimately and even tumor progression.
Like plants and many protists, brown algae undergo a complex life cycle involving alternation of generations.
The Shaximiao sandstones have been deeply buried with maximum depths >3.5 km and have undergone complex diagenetic alternations, which thus cause the sandstones to be tight and highly heterogeneous.
Thus, due to its central position, the switch in the CC could respond to a conformational alternation in the upstream domain (the stimulus), only then undergo an appropriate conformational alteration itself, and thereby transmit a signal to allow action of the downstream domains.
Chloroplasts underwent dramatic alternations during dark cultivation.
Urban organisation actually undergoes the effects of continuous alternation between order and disorder.
In all five patients who underwent heart rate alternations of different magnitudes, the relative size of oscillations in cardiac output and ETCO2 was strongly correlated (mean of within-patient correlation coefficients was 0.83 ± 0.10, P < 0.0001 in all cases, Fig. 5).
