Definition: A type of reproductive cell that is similar in size and shape to another reproductive cell it can join with to create a new organism.

Example: In certain species, both male and female gametes are isogametes, making them identical in appearance.

Definition: Relating to a type of reproduction where the gametes (sex cells) are of the same size and shape.

Example: In isogamous species, both male and female gametes are similar in appearance.

Definition: A type of reproduction that involves the joining of two similar gametes, which are reproductive cells, often seen in certain algae and fungi.

Example: In some species of algae, isogamy occurs when two identical gametes fuse to form a new organism.

Definition: Referring to organisms or cells that have the same genetic structure and origin.

Example: The researchers used isogeneic cells to ensure that the results were not affected by genetic differences.

Definition: Referring to organisms or cells that have the same genetic structure or composition.

Example: The researchers used isogenic strains of mice to ensure that the results were not influenced by genetic differences.

Definition: A line that shows where a specific language feature is used or found in different areas.

Example: The isogloss on the map indicates where people use different words for the same object.

Definition: Describing a shape or figure that has equal angles throughout.

Example: The isogonal polygon has all its angles equal, making it symmetrical.

Definition: Describing something that has equal angles or shows equivalent growth of parts while keeping size relations constant.

Example: The isogonic lines on the map indicate areas where the angle of magnetic declination is the same.

Definition: A piece of tissue that is taken from a donor who has the same genetic makeup as the person receiving it.

Example: The surgeon used an isograft to ensure the best chance of acceptance by the patient's body.

Definition: Able to be separated or set apart from others.

Example: The scientist found that the isolable strain of the virus could be studied in detail.
