| late rickets | <pathology> A condition marked by softening of the bones (due to impaired mineralisation, with excess accumulation of osteoid), with pain, tenderness, muscular weakness, anorexia and loss of weight, resulting from deficiency of vitamin D and calcium. Origin: Gr. Malakia = softness (18 Nov 1997) |
|---|---|
| late seizure | A seizure that occurs greater than one week after a craniocerebral trauma or CNS insult. (05 Mar 2000) |
| late seral species | Shade tolerant species, primarily vine maple shrubs and western red cedar and western hemlock trees. These species follow the mid seral species in natural succession. (05 Dec 1998) |
| late seral treatment | A treatment in which late seral species will be established after thinning. (05 Dec 1998) |
| late-successional forest | Forest seral stages which include mature and old- growth age classes. (05 Dec 1998) |
| late-successional reserve | An area of forest where the management objective is to protect and enhance conditions of late successional and old-growth forest ecosystems. (05 Dec 1998) |
| late syphilis | Involvement of the cardiovascular or central nervous system, or the development of a gumma in any organ, due to infection with Treponema pallidum; usually several years to 2-3 decades after the initial infection. Synonym: tertiary syphilis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| late systole | The interval in the cardiac rhythm immediately preceding diastole. Synonym: late systole. (05 Mar 2000) |
| accessory chromosome | A chromosome existing without its normal homologous chromosome; at the reduction division of gametogenesis an accessory chromosome is likely to be included in one daughter cell and not in the other, but may be lost completely by lagging behind on the equatorial plate. Synonym: monosome, odd chromosome, unpaired allosome, unpaired chromosome. (05 Mar 2000) |
| acentric chromosome | A fragment of a chromosome lacking a centromere and unable to attach to the mitotic spindle, therefore unable to take part in the division of a nucleus and randomly distributed in daughter cells. Synonym: acentric fragment. (05 Mar 2000) |
| acrocentric chromosome | A chromosome with the centromere placed very close to one end so that the short arm is very small, often with a satellite. (05 Mar 2000) |
| balanced chromosome | <genetics> A chromosome which is unable to pair with its homologue and participate in homologus recombination during meiosis because it contains several inversion mutations (that is, has segments which have become flip-flopped). (09 Oct 1997) |
| B chromosome | <genetics> Small acentric chromosome, part of the normal genome of some races and species of plants. (18 Nov 1997) |
| bivalent chromosome | A pair of chromosome's temporarily united. (05 Mar 2000) |
| male chromosome complement | The large majority of males have a 46, xy chromosome complement (46 chromosomes including an x and a y chromosome). A minority of males have other chromosome constitutions such as 47,xxy (47 chromosomes including two x chromosomes and a y chromosome) and 47,xyy (47 chromosomes including an x and two y chromosomes).
