I remember this one from Biology class. Genetics is full of interesting words.

I did Wiki the thing! But it still sounds like the fakest word I've ever heard. I mean, it's marvellous, don't get me wrong.

P.S. I like the spelling "marvellous" better than "marvelous." Just like murther is better than murder.

Absolutely real. From a biology text I'm editing. "The condition of some biological cells and organisms manifested by the presence of more than two homologous sets of chromosomes." Go on, Wiki the thing.

Isn't it wordtacular?

This word can't be real. It sounds like a children's book character, or a name you shout at someone on a playground!
