dwuniciowych

Dwuniciowych is the genitive plural form of the Polish adjective dwuniciowy, meaning two-stranded or double-stranded. It is used in scientific Polish to describe structures or molecules composed of two complementary strands, most often in molecular biology and genetics. Because it is a grammatical form rather than a standalone noun, dwuniciowych appears in phrases that refer to double-stranded materials.

Etymology and usage considerations: the term derives from the prefix dwu- (“two”) and the noun nić (“thread”). It commonly appears as part of phrases modifying nouns such as kwasów nukleinowych or struktur, indicating that the described molecules or structures consist of two strands. The complement often follows the noun, for example dwuniciowych kwasów nukleinowych (double-stranded nucleic acids) or dwuniciowych genomów (double-stranded genomes).

Common contexts and examples: in biology and genetics, dwuniciowych kwasów nukleinowych is a standard way to specify double-stranded nucleic acids, including double-stranded DNA and double-stranded RNA formulations used in research. The form is also found in discussions of viral genomes, cellular replication, and nucleic acid technologies where the two-stranded nature is relevant. Although dwuniciowych is most frequent in technical writing, it may appear alongside other grammatical forms (such as dwuniciowy, dwuniciowe) depending on the gender and number of the modified noun.

Limitations: dwuniciowych is not a stand-alone name or title; it is a grammatical form that appears within noun phrases to convey the concept of being two-stranded.
