ORIGIN OF CEPA
The word strain is a word that comes from the Latin ceppus that designates a “pilaster that is erected in memory of a dead person”. By extension, this term began to be used as a synonym for “trunk” to designate a part of the plants and the lineage in a family tree.
This term is used to designate a group of related organisms, such as fungi, bacteria, or a virus. This is so, because they are part of the same lineage or share a common ancestor.
CURIOSITIES OF CEPA
- In biology, the strain is of scientific interest due to the biological information they contain, since they are phenotypic microorganisms, that is, they represent a proportion derived from a larger organism.
- Cepa is also an attribute or adjective to describe a correct , transparent and “good family” person. Usually heard in the phrase “is of good strain”.
