Live, attenuated - these are live micro-organisms that have been cultivated under conditions to disable their virulent properties. They typically provoke durable immunologica...

Protein

...ne ) that humans cannot produce themselves, while incomplete proteins lack or contain only a very small proportion of one or more. Human bodies can make use of all the amino acids they extract from food for synthesizing new proteins, but the inessential ones themselves need not be supplied by the diet, becaus...

Parthenogenesis

...rthenogenesis, gynogenesis, and hybridogenesis, an incomplete form of parthenogenesis. Among the reptiles, about fifteen species of whiptail lizard (genus Cnemidophorus ) reproduce exclusively by parthenogenesis. These lizards live in the dry and sometimes harsh climate of the southwestern United States an...

Origin of life

...t this time however, these various hypotheses have incomplete evidence supporting them. Many of them can be simulated and tested in the lab, but a lack of undisturbed sedimentary rock from that early in Earth's history leaves few opportunities to determine what may have actually happened in reality. "Metabol...

...eed to be cautious in the light of our limited and incomplete knowledge, have called food processing into question. Today's leading nutritionists advise against the processing of food where possible, since undiscovered but possibly essential nutrients may be thereby removed, or toxins may be added or produced...

...ctive tissue. Marfan's Syndrome is associated with incomplete penetrance, therefore not all persons carrying the mutation develop the disease. Without the structural support provided by fibrillin, many connective tissues are weakened, which can have severe consequences on support and stability. A related diseas...

Co-infection with Hepatitis D increases the risk of liver cirrhosis and subsequently, liver cancer. Hepatitis B infection may lead to a chronic inflammation o...

An example of this would be seen if, when crossing flowers with codominant "blue" and "purple" alleles for petal color, the resulting offspring ...
