n. Intrinsic polar separation, alignment, or orientation, especially of a physical property: magnetic polarity; ionic polarity.

n. An indicated polar extreme: an electric terminal with positive polarity.

n. The possession or manifestation of two opposing attributes, tendencies, or principles: political polarity.

n. The separation, alignment or orientation of something into two opposed poles.

n. Either of the two extremes of such attributes.

n. The dipole-dipole intermolecular forces between the slightly positively-charged end of one molecule to the negative end of another or the same molecule.

n. That quality or condition of a body in virtue of which it exhibits opposite, or contrasted, properties or powers, in opposite, or contrasted, parts or directions; or a condition giving rise to a contrast of properties corresponding to a contrast of positions

n. A property of the conic sections by virtue of which a given point determines a corresponding right line and a given right line determines a corresponding point. See Polar, n.

n. The having two opposite poles; variation in certain physical properties, so that in one direction they are the opposite of what they are in the opposite direction: thus, a magnet has polarity.

n. The being attracted to one pole and repelled from the other; attraction of opposites: literal or figurative: as, electricity has polarity.

n. The having of an axis with reference to which certain physical properties are determined.

n. The having, as a ray, variation of properties in reference to different inclinations to a plane through the ray; polarization.

n.

n. That endowment of plants, plant-organs, and even of spores and cells, by virtue of which they tend to develop axially and with a distinction of base and apex; verticibasality. This polarity inheres even in small pieces of a stem in such wise that they tend to throw out roots from the end originally nearest the base and shoots from that farthest from it. Accordingly the basal end of a piece or whole is termed (first by Vochting) the root-pole, the apical end the shoot-pole, the latter also stem-pole (Pfeffer). Polarity is either (relatively) stable, as in flowering plants, or labile (changeable). Some low organisms are apolar.

n. In geometry, a conlocal reciprocation in which any two corresponding elements are doubly correlated.

n. a relation between two opposite attributes or tendencies

n. having an indicated pole (as the distinction between positive and negative electric charges)

"Since polarity is such a function-critical variable, shifts in polarity could have dramatic effects on fitness (e.g., be lethal!)."
