autopolyploid

IPA: /ˌɔːtəˈpɔɪlɔɪd/

KK: /ɔːtəˈpɔɪlɔɪd/

adjective

Definition: Describing an organism or population that has more than two sets of chromosomes, all coming from the same species.

Example: The plant species is an autopolyploid, which means it has multiple sets of chromosomes from its own kind.

noun

Definition: A living thing that has more than two sets of chromosomes, all coming from the same species.

Example: The study of autopolyploids helps scientists understand genetic variation in plants.

autopolyploidy

IPA: /ˌɔːtəʊˈpɒlɪplɔɪdi/

KK: /ɔːtəˈpɒlɪplɔɪdi/

noun

Definition: A condition in which an organism has more than two sets of chromosomes that are all derived from the same species.

Example: Autopolyploidy can lead to increased genetic variation in plants.

autoradiogram

IPA: /ˌɔːtəˈreɪdɪəʊɡræm/

KK: /ˌɔːtəˈreɪdɪəʊɡræm/

noun

Definition: A type of image produced by the exposure of photographic film to radiation emitted from a sample, often used in scientific research to visualize the distribution of radioactive substances.

Example: The scientist analyzed the autoradiogram to determine the location of the radioactive markers in the tissue sample.

autoradiograph

IPA: /ˌɔːtəˈreɪdɪəɡræf/

KK: /ˌɔːtəˈreɪdɪəɡræf/

noun

Definition: A type of image created on photographic film that shows the radiation emitted from a sample treated with a radioactive substance.

Example: The scientist examined the autoradiograph to analyze the distribution of the radioactive material in the tissue sample.

autoradiography

IPA: /ˌɔːtəˈreɪdɪəɡrəfi/

KK: /ˌɔːtəˈreɪdɪəɡrəfi/

noun

Definition: A technique used to create images of the distribution of radioactive materials in a sample, often used in scientific research and medical diagnostics.

Example: The scientist used autoradiography to visualize the distribution of the drug in the tissue samples.

autorotation

IPA: /ˌɔːtəroʊˈteɪʃən/

KK: /ˌɔːtəroʊˈteɪʃən/

noun

Definition: The spinning of a helicopter's blades that happens because of the upward flow of air, allowing the helicopter to stay in the air without using its engine power.

Example: During autorotation, the helicopter can glide safely to the ground even if the engine fails.

autosexing

IPA: /ˌɔːtəʊˈsɛksɪŋ/

KK: /ɔːtəʊˈsɛksɪŋ/

adjective

Definition: Describing organisms that show distinct male and female characteristics from the moment they are born or hatch.

Example: Some species of fish are autosexing, allowing them to be identified as male or female right after hatching.

noun

Definition: A method of breeding animals, particularly birds, that allows for the identification of their sex at the time of hatching based on visible characteristics.

Example: Autosexing is commonly used in poultry farming to easily determine the sex of chicks right after they hatch.

autosomal

IPA: /ˌɔːtəˈsoʊməl/

KK: /ɔːtəˈsoʊməl/

adjective

Definition: Relating to autosomes, which are the chromosomes that are not involved in determining the sex of an individual.

Example: The genetic disorder is caused by an autosomal mutation.
