The vesicle, then, is converted into a cup, the mouth of which gradually closes in and becomes smaller, while the cup itself elongates (G.
In yet others it elongates into a slit, occupying the whole length of the embryo; the middle part of the slit closes up, and the opening at the far ends mark the position, the one of the future mouth, the other of the future vent.
Each, however, again elongates and divides again, but all still remain attached.
Each individualelongates and then divides in the middle into two similar halves, each of which then repeats the process.
As the parts within develop, the volva ruptures in its upper part, the stemelongates and carries upward the cap, while the remains of the volva surrounds the base of the stem in the form of a cup.

The above list will hopefully give you a few useful examples demonstrating the appropriate usage of "elongates" in a variety of sentences. We hope that you will now be able to make sentences using this word.
