The organisms displayed isometric, indeterminate growth - that is to say, they kept on expanding until they were covered with sediment or otherwise killed.
Wild forms are typically fine-stemmed, freely-branching and small-leaved, with a twining habit, photoperiod sensitivity and indeterminate growth (Lawn, 1995).
In zoology, indeterminate growth refers to the condition where animals grow rapidly when young, and continue to grow after reaching adulthood although at a slower pace.
Some mushrooms - notably Cantharellus californicus - also exhibit indeterminate growth.
Actinorhizal nodules have generally an indeterminate growth, new cells are therefore continually produced at the apex and successively become infected.
Their unusual size is due in part to their capacity for indeterminate growth, making Cantharellus californicus specimens actively grow for far longer than most other mushrooms.
Head and body length are 12-22 cm, tail length is 6.5-12.5 cm, and the weight is 70-250 g. The animals may exhibit indeterminate growth.
The plant is thalloid in form, and exhibits indeterminate growth.
Their relatively large sizes, diverse diets, indeterminate growth and ability to adapt to different environments gives them great ecological importance.
Sponges have indeterminate growth, with maximum growth determined through environmental constraints rather than genetics.
