Example sentences for: bacteriome

How can you use “bacteriome” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:

In armored scale insects, a genetically distinct but ultimately sterile cell lineage (the bacteriome) provides nutrition to its potentially fertile “sibling” cell lineage (the rest of the scale insect)—though, of course, polar body-derived cells are “sibling” in a strange special sense.
But the scale insect bacteriome gets its copy of the paternal genome directly from the embryo, so the clonality of sperm (the source of elevated relatedness between haplodiploid sisters) apparently has nothing to do with it.
If the individual is a male, then the genetic difference between his bacteriome and the rest of his tissues becomes even greater as he develops.
In males, the paternal genome is completely eliminated from most tissues very early in development—but it is never eliminated from the bacteriome.
As a result, most of a male armored scale insect's tissues (including his sperm) have one copy of half of the mother's genome (the same genome as the oocyte from which he developed), but his bacteriome has two complete copies of the mother's genome and also has a paternal genome.
