   Hubble law
         n 1: (astronomy) the generalization that the speed of recession
               of distant galaxies (the red shift) is proportional to
               their distance from the observer [syn: {Hubble's law},
               {Hubble law}]

English Dictionary: Hubble law by the DICT Development Group
From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) [web1913]:
   Hypallelomorph \Hyp`al*le"lo*morph\, n.
      See {Allelomorph}.

From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) [web1913]:
   Allelomorph \Al*le"lo*morph\, n. [Gr. [?] of one another + Gr.
      [?] form.] (Biol.)
      One of the pure unit characters commonly existing singly or
      in pairs in the germ cells of Mendelian hybrids, and
      exhibited in varying proportion among the organisms
      themselves. Allelomorphs which under certain circumstances
      are themselves compound are called {hypallelomorphs}. See
      {Mendel's law}. -- {Al*le`lo*mor"phic}, a.
  
               As we know that the several unit characters are of such
               a nature that any one of them is capable of
               independently displacing or being displaced by one or
               more alternative characters taken singly, we may
               recognize this fact by naming such characters
               allelomorphs.                                          --Bateson.
