The ability to grow and develop into an adult.
Describes the likelihood that a seed will germinate.
The capability to live and develop normally.
The possibility of germination. Seeds vary in their time of viability from a few days to 20 years, if not hundreds of years. Storage conditions will affect the viability, the best being low temperatures and humidity.
The percentage of seed that will germinate.
A term meaning ability to live or continue living in a particular habitat or under a given set of environmental conditions such as aquatic, terrestrial, intra-uterine, tropical, temperate or arctic. All living organisms possess viability in particular habitats or environments and may adapt themselves in the natural course of their life cycles to attain viability in other habitats or environments. Viability has been incorporated into Abortionspeak by Birthist Abortionites, abortionmongers and necrochoicers to insinuate that prenatal children are somehow not alive or not yet fully human when they are perfectly viable in their mother's womb. Suggested alternatives to this misnomer are "intra-uterine viability" and "extra-uterine viability".
The potential capacity of a seed to germinate. ( BCFT).
The ability to survive to adulthood.
The state of being alive. Capacity to germinate.
in plants, the ability of seeds to germinate.
(of living things) capable of normal growth and development
The condition of a fetus weighing 500 grams or more.
Measurment of health and survival of cells and tissue often used to asses the cells' ability to grow and reproduce. Back to glossary index
The ability of a population of a plant or animal species to persist for some specified time into the future. Viable populations are populations that are regarded as having the estimated numbers and distribution of reproductive individuals to ensure that its continued existence is well distributed in a given area.
Usually a reference to the amount of money candidates have or can raise for their campaigns. Viable (or, sometimes, "credible") candidates are those considered to have enough money to win.
The ability for the developing fetus to live on its own if it were delivered by cesarean section or by normal delivery, and given expert medical care. This typically occurs sometime after the 21st week after conception. Abortions are allowed by various state and provincial Medical Associations only prior to viability. Terminations of pregnancies at or after viability are not usually performed, except for overwhelming medical reasons (threat to the woman's life, a dead fetus, or the need to terminate the pregnancy to avoid a very serious disability to the mother). The US Supreme Court defined viability (Roe v. Wade, 1973) as "potentially able to live outside the mother's womb, albeit with artificial aid."
life and health, ability to grow and reproduce; a measure of the proportion of live cells in a population
the quality of possessing the ability to live, function and grow-a crucial characteristic of seeds.
The ability of a seed to germinate.
Usually refers to the ability of the young to live after birth.
Living and working in such a way, so as to meet and balance the existing environment, economic and social needs of man without however jeopardizing the well-being of future generations. The use of the ecosystems, in such a way, so as to secure all possible benefits not only for us but also to the future generations.
refers to the ability of a conceptus to live and grow, or to a pregnancy's overall status
Capability of living, developing or germinating under favorable conditions
