Relating to or characteristic of chromonema; describing the fibrous or thread-like structure of chromosomes.
From Greek 'chroma' (color) + 'nema' (thread) + '-ic' (relating to). This variant adjective form appears in genetics literature as an alternative to chromonemal.
Scientists use both 'chromonemal' and 'chromonemic' to describe the same thing—chromosome threads—showing how scientific terminology evolves and sometimes develops alternative forms for the same concept.
