Chapter 6  The Genetic Material. The Basic Requirements for Genetic Material (i.e., the material that determines the inherited characteristics of a functional organism): 1  It must be stable.  It must be capable of being expressed when needed.
- In the manufacture of metal or alloys. Toxicology : Zirconium compounds are generally considered to be of low toxicity. Skin : Granulomata have been produced by repeated topical applications of zirconium salts to human skin.
The All-purpose Construction Material. Unlike other ceramic materials, zirconium oxide (ZrO 2 âalso known as zirconia) is a material with very high resistance to crack propagation.Zirconium oxide ceramics also have very high thermal expansion and are therefore often the material of choice for joining ceramic and steel.he All-purpose Construction Material.
