Note that the sequential and additive arrival at the phenotypically meaningful sequence of A plus T plus G, represents, in reality, the accumulation of events fixed by natural selection during protein evolution, which entails clustered changes of multiple parts, and at diverse locations, within functional domains.
For the staining of livers for accumulation of lipids fixed slides was incubated 8 min. in pre-warmed (60°C) Oil Red O solution (0.5% in propylene glycol), destained 2×5 min in propylene glycol and rinsed twice in water.
The accumulation of relatively recently fixed and non-mineral or aggregate stabilized C is similar to findings from a site in Southern Utah where the bulk of soil C accumulation following PJ establishment occurred in what is the equivalent to the duff/litter layer studied here [21].
Accumulation of new mutations fixed to homozygosity by inbreeding can be expected to produce significant substrain divergence over time, and potentially, differences in substrain characteristics.

But for Buschatzke, who has spent decades efficiently providing water for a desert population — Arizona uses less water now than it did 60 years ago even though the population has soared from 1.1 million to 6.7 million — the big fix is actually in the accumulation of all the little fixes he and others are constantly making.

Furthermore, the order of these genes was inverted (if not reshuffled) in A. stephensi because of the accumulation of a large number of fixed inversions during the divergence of the two species.
As expected, the Dn/Ds values in the human branch tended to be much larger in the accelerated gene set than in the complete gene set (Wilcoxon test p < 10-5), reflectheg the accumulation of a larger number of fixed non-synonymous substitutions in the former set.
In general, two competing hypotheses have been proposed [ 5]: i) The lack of selective constraints leads to degeneration due to accumulation of mutations which are fixed by genetic drift.
MTB evolves unidirectionally by the accumulation of mutations that are then fixed with no evidence of genetic exchange [ 5, 6].
