It looks like it's the Merriam-Webster Collegiate Dictionary – but simplified.
In my Nook Simple Touch (which uses the 11th Edition of the Merriam-Webster Collegiate Dictionary) "biological" is defined as follows...
biological
also biologic adjective
1 : of or relating to biology or to life and living processes
2 : used in or produced by applied biology
3 : connected by direct genetic relationship rather than by
adoption or marriage <her
biological father>
―
bi‧o‧log‧i‧cal‧ly
\-ji-k(Ə-)lẽ\
adverb
(1847)
The Nook version also has a lookup feature not in my Kobo Touch (can't speak for newer Kobos).
The Kobo uses the following format ...
biological [-ji-k(Ə-)lẽ] -adj, adv
1. of or relating to biology or to life and living processes
2. used in or produced by applied biology
3. connected by direct genetic relationship rather than by adoption
or marriage
