unimpregnated

1 A worker bee may be an offspring of an unimpregnated queen bee.

2 Examination with the oiled hand in the rectum will reveal the womb of the natural, unimpregnated size and shape and with both horns of one size.

3 We set at liberty an unimpregnated young queen, eleven days old, whose hive   had always been deprived of males.

4 Cleveland describes a discharge of an anomalous deciduous membrane during pregnancy which was probably from the unimpregnated half of a double uterus.

5 At eleven in the forenoon, we placed ourselves opposite a hive containing an unimpregnated queen five days old.

6 But what determines the development of the gemmules of the first-formed or primordial cell in the unimpregnated ovule, is beyond conjecture.

7 Parthenogenesis, name given to asexual reproduction, that is, to reproduction of plants or animals by means of unimpregnated germs or ova.

8 A longing for an atmosphere unimpregnated with petrol eventually sends me stumbling up the companion-way to the deck.

9 The best crop is the first of the season, which consists of the unimpregnated females; the later crops contain an admixture of young insects and skins, which contain proportionally little colouring matter.

10 PARTHENOGENESIS.—The production of living organisms from unimpregnated eggs or seeds.

11 Such are seen in the unimpregnated eggs of birds, and in the unimpregnated seed-vessels of vegetables.

12 This colony was afterwards supplied with an unimpregnated queen, but they refused to accept of her, and attempted at once to smother her to death.

13 Thereupon both the sharks began to manifest great uneasiness, and eventually with fluster and splashing they worked among the fissures of the coral and shot out into the unimpregnated sea.

14 The belief that it is the function of the spermatozoa to communicate life to the ovule seems a strange one, seeing that the unimpregnated ovule is already alive and continues for a considerable time alive.

15 I found them all to be unimpregnated females; I have never yet discovered a male among them.

16 Now Loeb and others have succeeded in certain forms—even in a vertebrate like the frog—in inducing development in unimpregnated ova.

17 I was completely at a loss to account for this, as the bees having an unimpregnated drone-laying Queen, ought not to have had a single female egg from which they could rear a Queen.

18 The unimpregnated bloom falls off at its appointed date, as everybody knows; but if fertilized it remains entire, saving the labellum, until the seed is ripe, perhaps half a year afterwards—but withered, of course.

19 The unimpregnated womb may be filled with a dropsical fluid, but the pregnant womb is more liable to become overdistended by an excess of fluid in the inner water bag in which the fetus floats.

20 This affection can occur only in the pregnant animal, while dropsy of the womb occurs in the unimpregnated.
