The phrase "alternative possibility of a" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used when discussing different options or scenarios that could occur in a given situation.
Example: "In this experiment, we need to consider the alternative possibility of a different outcome based on varying conditions."
Alternatives: "other potential for a" or "different option for a".
Despite these tensions, the United States should also be concerned about the alternative possibility of a China-Japan entente.
And he essentially rules out the alternative possibility of a direct Darwinian path: a path, that is, in which Darwinism builds an irreducibly complex structure while selecting all along for the same biological function.
Although a reaction module transforming allantoate to ureidoglycine appeared to be the most logical reaction that we are looking for, we could not exclude the alternative possibility of a promiscuous carbamoyltransferase activity normally involved in purine degradation, being responsible for transformation of allantoate to glyoxylate.
Current Figure 8B: The figure legend was adapted to include the alternative possibility of having an increased density of CENP-A within a domain of fixed size.
Our results cannot distinguish between the alternative possibilities of an undetected maternal mutation (e.g. a translocation or inversion) or that the heterozygous mutation is coincidental to her phenotype, consistent with a previous report of heterozygous null PDX1 mutations in population controls 10.
However, an alternative possibility of multiple, independent spillover events from closely related viruses in a zoonotic reservoir cannot be excluded.
Given the importance of understanding the molecular mechanisms involved in cellular senescence and tumorigenesis, we believe that these recent findings [ 4] unravel an additional part of this complex mosaic of pathways and suggest an alternative possibility of p16INK4a regulation.
For instance, most nematodes lack atp8 gene and thus have only 36 mt genes (Lavrov and Brown 2001; but see Gissi et al. 2008 and Breton et al. 2010 for an alternative possibility of "missing" atp8).
But the alternative possibility of separating death from particular "death behaviors" motivates the question of whether there are further grounds for disaggregating death into a process.
An alternative possibility of the enhanced responses observed with IL-2 and IL-15 pretreatment may be related to activation of cells not specific for the antigen.
This outcome is generally considered to be more harmful to conservation values than the alternative possibility of extinction focused on twiggy branches [40]; [but see 42].
