Bio Term root cap is A structure found at the apex of roots, except those of many water plants, produced by the apical meristem. As the root pushes its way through the soil, the outer (older) cells of the root cap are sloughed off and replaced by new cells from the meristem.

Bio Term covariance is A statistical measure used in computing the correlation coefficient between two variables; the covariance is the mean of (x- x(bar))(y-y(bar)) over all pairs of values for the variables x and y, where x(bar) is the mean of the x values and y(bar) is the mean of the y values. A statistical value measuring the simultaneous deviations of x and y variables from their means.

Bio Term centriole is A short cylindrical organelle, found in pairs arranged at right angles to each other at the centre of a microtubule organizing centre (MTOC) or centrosome, found in eukaryotes (except in higher plants). A centriole is similar in structure to the basal body found at the base of eukaryotic cilia and flagella and organises the axoneme, the bundle of microtubules and other proteins forming the core of each cilium or flagellum. The centrosome organizes formation of a spindle during mitosis or meiosis.

Bio Term trisomic is A diploid cell with an extra chromosome. Basically a diploid with an extra chromosome of one type, producing a chromosome number of the form 2n + l.

Bio Term ventral is Of or relating to the underside of an organism, or the side normally directed downward in the usual stance or resting position.
