Antiasymmetric
adj ·Rare ·Advanced level
Definitions
- 1 That counters asymmetry not-comparable
"We suggest the increasing m-CNs are more like a negative feedback mechanism, i.e., a selective pressure favoring asymmetry over symmetry to prevent the production of an over-asymmetric karyotype, that is, m-chromosomes exert an antiasymmetric effect on karyotype; this proposal complies well with the "scale symmetry" theory in biology [37, 38 ]."
