Examples

• All

• About 44% of extant homosporous plants are polyploids, even if polyploidy is defined as being above generically basal chromosome numbers (Vida 1976).

• The known history, so to speak, of mankind's evolution as a uniquely creative species is traced most conveniently in the history of fire—fire as defined generically.

• Perhaps the most revolutionary discovery about pteridophyte genetics in recent years is that although homosporous plants have many chromosomes, at a series of generically basic chromosome numbers, they are functionally diploids (Table 1).

  Academic text (2002)

• Although debating the origin of the current genetic composition of homosporous species should continue, it is clear that for purposes of genetic analysis, we cannot consider homosporous plant species having generically basal chromosome numbers as polyploids (Table 1).

  Academic text (2002)

• On the basis of the accumulated genetic data, species having the lowest extant chromosome numbers within genera should be considered diploid, whereas polyploids are those species having multiples of such generically basal numbers.

• The term 'mammal' is used generically to describe all animals that nurse their young.
