Definition of monomorphic in English:

monomorphic

adjective ˌmɒnə(ʊ)ˈmɔːfɪkˌmɑnəˈmɔrfɪk

Biology

1Having or existing in only one form.
Example sentencesExamples
- Roughly one-half of the microsatellites they isolated in one species were monomorphic in the other and have presumably lost their ability to mutate.
- The aromatic group had a high proportion of monomorphic loci suggestive of a severe or recent bottleneck.
- Three of the loci were monomorphic in all populations.
- The type species of Pleuronectites is not monomorphic but shows a substantial range of variation from its earliest to latest occurrences in the Muschelkalk of the Germanic Basin.
- Loci are commonly chosen because they were known to be polymorphic in the population studied, while monomorphic loci were not genotyped or discarded from analysis.
1. 1.1 (of a species or population) showing little or no variation in morphology or phenotype.
  Example sentencesExamples
  There were also large differences between populations in diversity, some of the populations being monomorphic and some polymorphic.
  Nevertheless, frequencies of monomorphic populations were homogeneous over zoogeographical regions.
  The carcinoma consisted of nests of tumor composed of a relatively monomorphic cell population with round nuclei, evenly distributed chromatin, and scanty cytoplasm.
  The exceptionally low content of T. dubius units in some 2603-33 plants closely resembles the monomorphic phenotype often seen in relatively ancient allopolyploids.
  The lesion was a lobulated circumscribed tumor mass composed microscopically of a monomorphic population of ductal cells.
2. 1.2 (of an animal species) having sexes that are similar in size and appearance.
  Example sentencesExamples
  Only the ornament-carrying males were observed for the dimorphic species, while both males and females may have been observed for the monomorphic species.
  Molecular sexing can provide an added benefit, especially for sexually monomorphic species.
  Siberian jays are sexually monomorphic with a substantial overlap in size between sexes.
  Unlike many socially polygynous species, house wrens are sexually monomorphic; both sexes are a fairly uniform brownish gray.
  Many bird species are morphologically monomorphic for external characters that would differentiate the sexes; sex identification in populations is often problematic.

monomorphism

noun ˌmɒnə(ʊ)ˈmɔːfɪz(ə)mˌmɑnəˈmɔrˌfɪzəm

Biology

The increase in tail length in M. leucopterus is shown to a greater extent in the males, resulting in sexual monomorphism.
Example sentencesExamples
- Consistent with these predictions, monogamy is correlated with sexual monomorphism and polygamy is correlated with sexual dimorphism.
- This monomorphism, in at least one duplicate, does not allow segregation between duplicates, which is necessary to determine whether loci are or are not linked.
- The temperate japonica and aromatic populations also had the highest incidence of monomorphism, with 15 and 21 monomorphic loci, respectively.
- Indeed, initial evidence based on allozymes indicated widespread genetic monomorphism in submerged plants, suggesting a much larger role for clonal than for sexual propagation.

monomorphous

adjective

Biology

The cells were monomorphous with oval nuclei, but also showed elongated and spindled features.
Example sentencesExamples
- These lesions were characterized by a monomorphous pattern of slender, elongated spindle cells in a sclerotic stroma.
- Cytologie preparations contained a predominantly monomorphous population of tumor cells with moderate eosinophilic cytoplasm with fine, elongated cytoplasmic processes.
- The biopsies from the gastric lesion showed a marked expansion of the lamina propria due to an infiltration of monomorphous cells with eosinophilic cytoplasm and eccentric nuclei.
- The relatively monomorphous cell population of epithelioid sarcoma contrasts with the mixed complement of inflammatory cells often observed in granulomatous inflammation.

Origin

Late 19th century: from mono- 'single' + Greek morphē 'form'.
