Note [Deprecated. The linear element defines the value of a param element at a particular time, relative to the start of the transition or effect that contains the param element. The linear element causes the parameter to make a smooth transition from its previous value to the new value. For an instantaneous jump to a new value, use the at element. Attributes.
Polymers are large molecules composed of repeated chemical units. The smallest repeating unit is called a mer. Linear polymers are like ropes. For a polymer chain of 10,000 units (a typical length), a standard half-inch-thick rope would be about 128 meters (140 yards) long to represent the length-to-thickness ratio.
