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.
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.nlike other ceramic materials, zirconium oxide (ZrO 2 âalso known as zirconia) is a material with very high resistance to crack propagation.
