| classical genetics | That body of method and analysis that perceives genetics as the study of the transmission of genotype from parent to offspring; the study of multiple individuals is essential to it. (05 Mar 2000) |

| philology, classical | The study of ancient greek and roman literature, including grammar, etymology, criticism, literary history, and language and linguistic history. (12 Dec 1998) |
|---|---|
| classical article | The current presentation of a previously printed seminal article marking a milestone in the history of medicine or science. It is usually accompanied by introductory remarks heralding its reprinting, often on the anniversary of its original publication or on an anniversary of the author's birth or death. It is usually reprinted in full, with complete bibliographical reference to the original appearance. (12 Dec 1998) |
| classical cesarean section | A cesarean section in which the uterus is entered through a vertical fundal incision. (05 Mar 2000) |
| classical conditioning | <psychology> Learning that takes place when a conditioned stimulus is paired with an unconditioned stimulus. (12 Dec 1998) |
| classical confinement | <radiobiology> Plasma confinement in which particle and energy transport occurs via classical diffusion, best possible case for magnetically confined plasmas. See: classical diffusion. (09 Oct 1997) |
| classical diffusion | <radiobiology> In plasma physics, diffusion due solely to scattering (collisions) of charged particles (with unlike charges) via electrical (Coulomb) interactions. (See also diffusion.) (09 Oct 1997) |
| classical epidemiology | <epidemiology> Our term for the varieties of epidemiology primarily concerned with the statistical relationships between disease agents, both infectious and non-infectious; for example a study to establish the relative risk of lung cancer associated with smoking. We contrast this with ecological epidemiology. (05 Dec 1998) |
| classical haemophilia | See: haemophilia A. (05 Mar 2000) |
| complement pathway, classical | The sequential activation of complement, initiated by antigen-antibody complex and the binding of complement factor c1q to the fc region of the antibody. (12 Dec 1998) |
| epidemiology, classical | The study of populations in order to determine the frequency and distribution of disease and measure risks. (12 Dec 1998) |
| behavioural genetics | The study of heritable factors in behavioural patterns, as by pedigree analysis, biochemical abnormality, or karyotypic analysis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| biochemical genetics | The study of genetics in terms of the chemical (biochemical) events involved, as in the manner in which DNA molecules replicate and control the synthesis of specific enzymes by the genetic code. (05 Mar 2000) |
| biometrical genetics | <study> The mathematical approach to the study of the inheritance of different phenotypes, or physical characteristics, as a result of plant or animal breeding. (09 Oct 1997) |
| Galtonian-Fisher genetics | The genetics of measurable traits determined by multiple loci which make contributions that are independent, additive, and approximately equal. Synonym: multilocal genetics. (05 Mar 2000) |
| galtonian genetics | The study of traits by analysis of the first two moments of metrical data; the preferred method for analysis of traits following the multivariate gaussian distribution. (05 Mar 2000) |
