 N(1) [longitud] length, lengths

~ Prep ~ in, ~ of
  The length of the chromosome was extended. | That species was quite large.

Adj ~ similar ~, different ~, identical ~ | known ~ | genetic ~, physical ~| variable ~, varying ~| extraordinary ~ | full- ~
  Full-length clones were identified. | Those fragments were of identical length.
  > El sintagma "full-length" suele ir unido por un guión y constituye un compuesto.

N ~ allelle ~, average ~, branch ~, cell ~chain ~, claw ~, gene ~, leaf ~, sperm ~, spore ~, tree ~
  Total body length was measured. | Cycle lengths were unknown at early stages. | There were enormous differences in gene lengths.

V ~ alter ~, calculate ~, estimate ~, extend ~, measure ~
  Average lengths were estimated.

 N(2) [duración temporal] length, lengths

~ Prep ~ for, ~ in, ~ of
  The length for each individual cycle was estimated. | The length of both phases varied considerably. | The length of the product was taken into account. | It may depend on the length of the incubation period.

Adj ~ similar ~, different ~, identical ~ | known ~ | short ~, full- ~ (sequence)
  The populations under study were separated by a known length of time. | No abnormalities were found in full-length sequences.

N ~ average ~, cycle ~, phase ~
  The average length of periods of interaction is shown

V ~ calculate ~, estimate ~, measure ~
  The total length of time spent in the experiment was calculated.
