Relating to or characterized by having unequal-sized segments, parts, or repeating units in an organism or structure.
From Greek 'anisos' (unequal) + 'meros' (part, segment) + '-ic' (of or relating to). This botanical and zoological term describes organisms with non-uniform segmentation or body part distribution.
In botany, flowers are often anisomeric—they might have 5 petals but different numbers of sepals—and this asymmetry is actually a feature biologists use to identify and classify plant families!
