Opposite of 'deficient' - Scientific English (Mar/31/2009 )

Pages: 1 2 3 Next

one animal is deficient in XY antigen or gene. Then, we refer to them as XY-deficient animal. What is the opposite of that?

Can U also provide an example used in some paper for reference?

Thank U.

mm, not quite. Naturally having and not having the gene expression

Not over expressed . . just that one has the antigen and the other does not have.

Yeah, these sound good. I was also thinking of XY-bearing. Seems like there is no any particular word for this and I might have to use one from this list. But, they are appropriate.

Thank U everyone.

How about just 'containing', or 'positive'?
