The phrase "adaptation assumes" is correct and usable in written English.
You can use it when discussing the premise or belief that a certain adaptation is based on specific conditions or factors.
Example: "In the context of evolutionary biology, adaptation assumes that species will change over time in response to environmental pressures."
Alternatives: "adaptation presupposes" or "adaptation takes for granted".
Such an adaptation assumes that open flowers are able to outcross substantially, thus increasing individual fitness by avoiding the deleterious effects of inbreeding (Charlesworth and Willis, 2009).
Fisher's infinitesimal model, one of the first and most influential theories of the genetic basis of adaptation, assumes that each locus exerts a minute effect on an organism's phenotype, and that phenotypic change occurs via the fixation of beneficial small-effect mutations at these loci [ 7], with negative pleiotropic effects constraining effect sizes of fixed mutations [ 5, 7, 8].
He showed that the sizes of the factors fixed during adaptation assume an exponential distribution.
However, even (nearly) neutral processes could eventually give rise to functionally relevant orphan genes for lineage-specific adaptation, assuming that longer retention times increase the chance of acquiring rare beneficial mutations.
Many models of adaptation assume that some form of genetic variation is present and are aimed at predicting the evolutionary response of a population to natural or artificial selection.
THE simplest models of adaptation assume that mutations are rare, so the fate of each beneficial mutation is decided on its own merits: it increases in frequency (or is lost due to random drift) at a rate commensurate with its selective advantage (E wens 2004).
In SSA, this adaptation generally assumes that desired family size will decrease following internal migration to urban areas, due in part to the increased acceptance of and access to contraception and abortion in urban areas (Shapiro and Tambashe. 2002).
Like the other models, the co-adaptation model assumes lack of sexual oDNA recombination.
Irrespective of one's view on the source of fMRI adaptation (fatigue, sharpening, or accumulation), fMRI adaptation is assumed to be a consequence of a modulation within the same neuronal population.
Also, in patients with a false positive test result only minor adaptations may be performed, as any major adaptation is assumed to immediately reveal the incorrect test outcome, and to be aborted as a result.
Phenomena associated with adaptation are not considered here, so a constant level of adaptation is assumed.
