Example: The reaction occurred monomolecularly, meaning it involved only one type of molecule.

Definition: Referring to a type of cell that contains only one nucleus.

Example: A mononuclear cell is essential for the immune response.

Definition: Referring to an organism or cell that has only one set of chromosomes, which is the basic number in a series of organisms with multiple sets.

Example: The monoploid cells are essential for studying genetic variations in plants.

Definition: An organism or cell that has only one set of chromosomes, which is half the number found in diploid organisms.

Example: The monoploid plant was used in the experiment to study genetic variations.

Definition: A type of chromosome or ribosome that exists alone without a matching pair or mate.
