Example: After feeling very tired and having a sore throat, the doctor diagnosed her with mononucleosis.

Definition: A basic unit of DNA or RNA that consists of a nitrogenous base, a sugar, and a phosphate group.

Example: Mononucleotides are essential for the synthesis of nucleic acids in living organisms.

Definition: A type of music that consists of only one melody without any harmony or accompaniment.

Example: The choir performed a beautiful piece in monophony, showcasing their voices in unison.

Definition: A type of vowel sound that is pronounced with a single, unchanging quality during the entire syllable.
