Differentiation :: Differentiation (n.) The gradual formation or production of organs or parts by a process of evolution or development, as when the seed develops the root and the stem, the initial stem develops the leaf, branches, and flower buds; or in animal life, when the germ evolves the digestive and other organs and members, or when the animals as they advance in organization acquire special organs for specific purposes..

Gonochorism :: Gonochorism (n.) In ontogony, differentiation of male and female individuals from embryos having the same rudimentary sexual organs..

Archenteron :: Archenteron (n.) The primitive enteron or undifferentiated digestive sac of a gastrula or other embryo. See Illust. under Invagination.

Difference :: Difference (n.) The quality or attribute which is added to those of the genus to constitute a species; a differentia.

Limit :: Limit (v. t.) A determining feature; a distinguishing characteristic; a differentia.

Determine :: Determine (v. t.) To define or limit by adding a differentia.

Determination :: Determination (n.) The addition of a differentia to a concept or notion, thus limiting its extent; -- the opposite of generalization..

Differentia :: Differentia (n.) The formal or distinguishing part of the essence of a species; the characteristic attribute of a species; specific difference.

Differential :: Differential (a.) Of or pertaining to a differential, or to differentials..

Differentiate :: Differentiate (v. t.) To distinguish or mark by a specific difference; to effect a difference in, as regards classification; to develop differential characteristics in; to specialize; to desynonymize..

Derivation :: Derivation (n.) The operation of deducing one function from another according to some fixed law, called the law of derivation, as the of differentiation or of integration..

Potential :: Potential (n.) In the theory of gravitation, or of other forces acting in space, a function of the rectangular coordinates which determine the position of a point, such that its differential coefficients with respect to the coordinates are equal to the components of the force at the point considered; -- also called potential function, or force function. It is called also Newtonian potential when the force is directed to a fixed center and is inversely as the square of the distance from the cente

Integration :: Integration (n.) In the theory of evolution: The process by which the manifold is compacted into the relatively simple and permanent. It is supposed to alternate with differentiation as an agent in development.

Differential :: Differential (n.) An increment, usually an indefinitely small one, which is given to a variable quantity..

Plasma :: Plasma (n.) The viscous material of an animal or vegetable cell, out of which the various tissues are formed by a process of differentiation; protoplasm..

Integral :: Integral (n.) An expression which, being differentiated, will produce a given differential. See differential Differential, and Integration. Cf. Fluent..

Differentiate :: Differentiate (v. i.) To acquire a distinct and separate character.

Differential :: Differential (a.) Relating to or indicating a difference; creating a difference; discriminating; special; as, differential characteristics; differential duties; a differential rate..

Procambium :: Procambium (n.) The young tissue of a fibrovascular bundle before its component cells have begun to be differentiated.

Homosystemic :: Homosystemic (a.) Developing, in the case of multicellular organisms, from the same embryonic systems into which the secondary unit (gastrula or plant enbryo) differentiates..
