Coalescence: Growing into each other, uniting into one whole.
Coalescence theory: The evolutionary theory that estimates the time for divergence from the last common ancestor.

 


water droplet coalescence A mechanism of condensation that occurs in clouds too warm for ice crystal formation.
water mass A body of water that can be identified by its temperature and salinity.

After the coalescence of the neural folds over the anterior end of the primitive streak, the blastopore no longer opens on the surface but into the closed canal of the neural tube, and thus a transitory communication, the neurenteric canal, ...

By use of coalescence theory to interpret modern haplotype genealogy, we estimate the origin of the CCR5-Delta32-containing ancestral haplotype to be approximately 700 years ago, with an estimated range of 275-1,875 years.
