The capacity to cause death or serious harm or damage.
embryonic lethality observed in mice with a mutation
the increasing lethality of modern weapons
Example sentencesExamples
Since 1775, weapons have become more lethal, and with increased lethality has come an increase in both the number of casualties and the severity of wounds.
They tend to misperceive and underestimate the lethality of their suicidal behaviors.
Biological weapons combine maximum lethality with ease of availability.
The lethality, hardiness, and ease of production of the anthrax bacteria have made it a mainstay of known BW programs.
I walked them through a typical lethality assessment and suggested questions for them to ask.
This lethality is suppressed by mutation in any one of the recombination repair genes RAD51, RAD52, RAD55, or RAD57.
This means that a 10°C change would affect lethality by a factor of 2.
Historically, the application of technology to weaponry has allowed combatants to fight at ever-increasing ranges and with greater lethality.
The dosage suppressors could rescue ram lethality by several possible mechanisms.
If depression induces heart disease and magnifies the lethality of existing cardiac conditions, does treatment of depression curb heart disease?
In hypersensitive mutants the mutation synthetically enhances toxin lethality and can be functionally informative.
These mutations cause larval lethality resulting from failed gut function and consequent starvation.
Additional genes important for eye development may remain unidentified because they cause early lethality when mutated.
We show that the male lethality associated with bon alleles is not due to defects in dosage compensation or sex determination pathways, but rather to the presence of the Y chromosome.
Radiation-induced lymphoid tumors and radiation lethality are inhibited by combined treatment with small doses of zinc aspartate and WR 2721.
Lethality is observed only when both the maternal and the zygotic contributions are completely removed.
The known toxicity and lethality of CO poisoning from tissue hypoxia are well known when humans are accidentally exposed to high levels of CO.
