cotransduction

IPA: //koʊtrænˈdʌkʃən//

KK: /koʊtrænˈdʌkʃən/

noun

Definition: The process of transferring multiple genes at the same time, particularly in bacteria, where two or more genetic markers are involved.

Example: Cotransduction can be used to study the genetic linkage between different traits in bacteria.

cotransfer

IPA: /ˌkoʊˈtrænsfɜr/

KK: /kəʊˈtrænsfɜr/

noun

Definition: The process of transferring two or more linked genes together from one organism to another.

Example: In genetic studies, cotransfer is important for understanding how traits are inherited together.

cotransferred

IPA: /ˌkoʊtrænˈfɜrd/

KK: /koʊtrænˈfɜrd/

adjective

Definition: Moved or given together with something else.

Example: The data was cotransferred to the new system during the upgrade.

cotyledon

IPA: //ˌkɒtɪˈliːdən//

KK: /kɑːtəˈliːdən/

noun

Definition: A part of a seed that develops into the first leaf or leaves of a plant embryo, which can either stay in the seed or grow and become green after germination.

Example: The cotyledon provides essential nutrients to the developing plant before it can produce its own leaves.

cotyledonary

IPA: //kɒtɪˈliːdənəri//

KK: /kɒtɪˈliːdənəri/

adjective

Definition: Relating to or having a cotyledon, which is the first leaf or leaves that appear from a seed during germination.

Example: The cotyledonary leaves of the plant were the first to emerge from the soil.

cotyloid

IPA: /ˈkɒtɪlɔɪd/

KK: /ˈkōtəˌlȯid/

adjective

Definition: Relating to a cup-shaped structure or cavity in the body.

Example: The cotyloid joint allows for a wide range of motion in the hip.

cotype

IPA: /ˈkoʊtaɪp/

KK: /ˈkoʊtaɪp/

noun

Definition: In zoology, a specimen that is used to help define a new species, often one of several that provide important characteristics for classification.

Example: The scientist examined the cotype to better understand the new species' features.

coulomb

IPA: /ˈkuːlɒm/

KK: /ˈkuːlɒm/

adjective

Definition: Relating to the electrostatic force between charged particles, which is a fundamental concept in physics.

Example: The coulomb force is essential in understanding how charged particles interact with each other.

noun

Definition: A unit of electrical charge in the metric system, defined as the amount of charge transferred by a current of one ampere in one second.

Example: The battery can store a charge of several coulombs.

coulombic

IPA: /kuːˈlɒmbɪk/

KK: /ˈkuːlɒmbɪk/

adjective

Definition: Relating to the force between charged particles, especially in the context of electric fields and interactions.
