Polychromatic Scale in zoology


From the the department of zoology and vertebrate zoology Berkley.

Summary  We describe the histological basis of color metamorphosis in the polychromatic Midas cichlid, Cichlasoma citrinellum. Eight percent of the individuals in a natural population transform from gray with black markings to orange, simultaneously losing their ability to adjust coloration in response to background and social context. This trait is inherited. Light- and electron microscopy revealed that this transformation is a two-step process. First, the melanophores die, then macrophage-like cells remove the debris. As a result of this initial process, the underlying xanthophores become visible, producing the orange coloration. A similar process may occur in individuals that further transform to white, or go directly from gray to white.

I feel this way much of the time and I will bet many of you do as well.

Polychrome Polychromatic and Fizz

This is the beginning of this madness.
For years many have been telling me "Hey , start a blog!"
So here and now I am .
It may be slow but I can assure you once the addiction gets hold of me there will be no stopping
the chemical fission and the variety of form in which it takes.
Be patient though , this is yet one more thing for me to deal with .
I will be filling this space with ideas , project formulas , writings on a variety of subjects , music, film, dance and what have you .
If you have spent any time sorting through color shades at a paint store , you know the dilemma.
Polychrome and the Fizzy came about as an answer to too many questions , requests and expectation of her other more DIGnified moniker but take note ; there is no ONE answer to either equation .
Dig this here as SHE is in her polymorphic and chromatic nature.
Polychromatic : Having many or various colors.
Digs her other half tends to be seen in varying shades of black and white which can also be known as silver . Chromatic.

Slide down my rain barrel
into the cellar door
and we'll be jolly friends
for evermore......
