Morphology and structure
Lichens live on various surfaces: soil, trees, rocks, and walls.
Morphology
Insects possess segmented bodies supported by an exoskeleton, a hard outer covering made mostly of chitin. The segments of the body are organized into three regions, or tagmata; a head, a thorax, and an abdomen.
morphology -- n. The form and structure of anything, usually applied to the shapes, parts, and arrangement of features in living and fossil organisms.
Morphology: Form or structure of an organism.
Multivoltine: Having more than one brood or generation per season.
Mycelium, Mycelia (pl.): A mass of interwoven filamentous 'threads' that make up the vegetative part of a fungus.

In the early 1980's, Drs. Barry Marshall and Robin Warren of Australia discovered bacteria in the stomach lining of patients with chronic gastritis and peptic ulcers.

Cyanobacteria Morphology and Introduction to the Archaea Life's extremists. . . These University of California Berkeley sites offer some pertinent information about a group of living organisms that resemble some of the earliest known fossils.
We've grown the same strain of it for thousands of generations on agar and in liquid culture without it losing its unicellular morphology. Dozens to hundreds of labs have done this. Steady-state unicellular C.
" So, in collaboration with others, we looked at where one of the homeotic genes-ultrabithorax-was expressed in different species of crustaceans and asked, "Did that expression correlate with differences in the morphology between different types of ...
Gene-expression profiles are being determined for anonymous skin ESTs, as well as ESTs from genes with known roles in skin development, differentiation, apoptosis, DNA repair, cancer, pigmentation, and skin and hair morphology.
Neandertals: A Cyber Perspective Excellent site about neandertals, with links to other aspects such as art, morphology, and fate of the group. Site developed by Kharlena Marķa Ramanan.
Despite the underlying unity, life exhibits an astonishing wide diversity in morphology, behavior and life histories. In order to grapple with this diversity, biologists attempt to classify all living things.
Transformation (with respect to cultured cells): A change in cell morphology and behavior which is generally related to carcinogenesis.
The branch of morphology that deals with the structure of animals.Alternative names for the body of a human being; Leonardo studied the human body; he has a strong physique; the spirit is willing but the flesh is weak.
For tissue culture cells, cells transfected with foreign DNA are transformed if their exhibit morphology changes such as rounded cell bodies, loss of contact inhibition, and formation of plaques.
Although they share a basic morphology with bacteria and they are also prokaryotes (i.e. they lack a nuclear membrane), in many molecular details they resemble eukaryotes more than bacteria. Previously called Archaebacteria.
Convergent evolution: Evolution of two or more different lineages towards similar morphology due to similar adaptive pressures.
species - a group of individuals similar in morphology, capable of interbreeding and producing fertile offspring. They are morphologically different from other groups and usually do not interbreed with them.
The nuclear pores of these cells were targeted with a wide-spectrum polyclonal antibody to a large family of nuclear pore complex proteins, which serves as a useful tool for studying the morphology and composition of the nucleus and nuclear envelope.
Another unifying theme is stress signalling to organelles, possibly both to change their morphology in response to external insults and to maintain the lumenal pH or membrane potential of organelles.
