The phrase "acquisitions of elements" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts related to obtaining or gathering components, parts, or aspects of a larger system or concept.
Example: "The acquisitions of elements necessary for the project were completed ahead of schedule."
Alternatives: "gathering of components" or "procurement of parts".
In S. cerevisiae strains lacking a gene for telomere replication, amplification and acquisition of Y' elements in a large number of telomeres decreases the frequency of cell death [ 46].

We have now re-written this to make it clear: At the genetic/evolutionary level, our results suggest that acquisition of element 1586 was a way to shift Gli3 expression anteriorly.
If we look at the plant radiation, there's a whole series of acquisitions of major elements of what it means to be a plant, and they occur at a pretty steady pace between about 450 and 75 million years ago.
The key virulence factors shared between EHEC 1 and EHEC 2 clonal complexes were postulated to have been introduced through multiple and parallel acquisitions of mobile elements [ 37].
Our study suggests that, of the two melanin forms, pheomelanin synthesis may bear higher costs associated with the acquisition of specific elements or limited elements may create trade-offs between ornamentation and other physiological functions.
18 (44%) of the independently acquired matching spacer pairs are located on the leader ends of loci in both strains, which indicates that both spacers were recent acquisitions of an element that was present in the spring at that time.
While their genetic background differs from other S. aureus strains, ST75- and ST883-MRSA strains harbour SCCmec IV elements suggesting a recent acquisition of these elements.
Willem and his-coworkers also showed that different E. faecium strains contained significantly different gene contents (up to 12%) [ 1], the acquisition of mobile elements, such as insertion sequence (IS) elements, phage genes, plasmid sequences, antibiotic resistance genes and regulatory genes, mainly contributed to its divergence [ 2].
