  2. Primordium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Primordium

    Cells of the primordium are called primordial cells. A primordium is the simplest set of cells capable of triggering growth of the would-be organ and the initial foundation from which an organ is able to grow. In flowering plants, a floral primordium gives rise to a flower.

  3. Last universal common ancestor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Last_universal_common_ancestor

    The last universal common ancestor (LUCA) is the hypothesized common ancestral cell from which the three domains of life, the Bacteria, the Archaea, and the Eukarya originated. The cell had a lipid bilayer; it possessed the genetic code and ribosomes which translated from DNA or RNA to proteins.

  4. Celestial spheres - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Celestial_spheres

    The celestial spheres, or celestial orbs, were the fundamental entities of the cosmological models developed by Plato, Eudoxus, Aristotle, Ptolemy, Copernicus, and others. In these celestial models, the apparent motions of the fixed stars and planets are accounted for by treating them as embedded in rotating spheres made of an aetherial ...

  5. Primordial fluctuations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Primordial_fluctuations

    Primordial fluctuations are density variations in the early universe which are considered the seeds of all structure in the universe. Currently, the most widely accepted explanation for their origin is in the context of cosmic inflation .

  7. Primorial - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Primorial

    For each primorial n, the fraction ⁠ φ(n) / n ⁠ is smaller than for any lesser integer, where φ is the Euler totient function. Any completely multiplicative function is defined by its values at primorials, since it is defined by its values at primes, which can be recovered by division of adjacent values.

  8. Pit (botany) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pit_(botany)

    The primary cell wall at the pit membrane may also have depressions similar to the pit depressions of the secondary layers. These depressions are primary pit-fields, or primary pits. In the primary pit, the primordial pit provides an interruption in the primary cell wall that the plasmodesmata can cross. The primordial pit is the only aperture ...

  9. Matter power spectrum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matter_power_spectrum

    The matter power spectrum describes the density contrast of the universe (the difference between the local density and the mean density) as a function of scale. It is the Fourier transform of the matter correlation function. On large scales, gravity competes with cosmic expansion, and structures grow according to linear theory. In this regime ...
