Also: relating to or involving such a chromosome. ΚΠ 1940 Jrnl. Genetics 40 204 Heterochromatin is allocyclic. Euchromatin has a regular correlation of nucleic acid attachment and reproductive cycle. Heterochromatin either has a reduced correlation or a reversed one. 1971 Ann. Rev. Ecol. & Systematics 2 334 The allocyclic segments may be either more or less condensed than the eucyclic segments at any given time. 1992 Proc. National Acad. Sci.

This out-of-phase or allocyclic behavior..is also reflected in its DNA synthesis, which occurs late in the replication of the chromosome. 2. Geology.

Cf. autocyclic adj. 2. ΚΠ 1964 J. R. Beerbower in Bull. State Geol. Surv. Kansas 169 32/2 The..allocyclic type result from changes external to the sedimentary unit such as uplift, subsidence, climatic variation or eustatic change. 1993 Palaios 8 77/1 These formation-scale changes probably resulted from allocyclic factors including changes in tectonic activity and climate. 2007 J. A. Maceachern et al. in W. Miller Trace Fossils vii. 119/1 In genetic stratigraphy, differentiation of breaks of autocyclic derivation from those of allocyclic origin is paramount.
