Sentence examples for a common environment in from inspiring English sources

In common garden experiments, a number of genotypes are raised in a common environment in order to quantify the genetic component of phenotypic variation.

However, it is also likely that twin studies overestimated heritability by assuming that monozygotic twins share a common environment in a similar way to dizygotic twins, and by including gene-environment interactions (those involving shared aspects of environment) in estimates of heritability [ 4].

Clones are normally assumed to be homogeneous but emerging fundamental research in bacteria [25] [28], yeast [29] [34], and more recently mammalian cells [35] [39], has revealed that gene expression can vary significantly between genetically-identical cells, even in a common environment (reviewed in [40], [41]).

A synthetic chemical Di-n-butyl phthalate (DBP) is extensively used in industrial products and is also a common environment pollutant in many countries.

The plants in this study were grown in a common environment and analysed in their first year of growth, it was not therefore possible to directly compare the C0 population with the C2 random population to analyse any random drift that had occurred over the 2 years.

As is common with open-pollinated species, most of the phenotypic variation in plants grown in a common environment was attributed to variation in individual plants within families.

Isogenic cells in a common environment show substantial cell-to-cell variation in gene expression, often referred to as "expression noise".
