Sentence examples for be altered by selection from inspiring English sources
The noninheritance of acquired traits does not mean that the genes cannot be changed by environmental influences; X-rays and other mutagens certainly do change them, and the genotype of a population can be altered by selection.
Finally, comparison of gene lists obtained between these two diverse chicken types indicate the TLR and JAK/STAT signaling are conserved when responding to MDV infection and may be altered by selection of genes exhibiting ASE found at the start of each pathway.
The low frequency of this allele in the starting population makes it unlikely that this allele would be identified as a favorable allele in a study of association between methionine content and genetic loci in the starting population, but it clearly exhibits the characteristics of an allele that was altered by selection such as this study.
These previous results, and the necessity to further explore the potential of characterization of brain areas for use in animal welfare research, led to the question of whether stress-related brain areas could be altered by genetic selection for low early mortality and/or maternal care in laying hens.
The in vitro drug release experiments showed that the drug release behaviour can be altered by using various selections of biocompatible polymers to suit different therapeutic applications.
However, genetic diversity and the response to selection can be altered by polyploidy (Levin, 2002) and by clonal diversity (e.g. Van Dijk, 2003).
It is possible that the prediction performance can be altered by many factors such as evaluation indices, data types, kernel function parameters, and feature-selection algorithms.
The lipid composition may be altered by chemical modification of lipids, or by displacement of lipids themselves, by de novo generation, retention, selection, or recruitment from elsewhere.
Second, natural selection acts on the resulting phenotypes produced by this interaction, thus the response to selection and the long-term course of evolution depend on how variation in network properties can be altered by mutation and recombination.
