Sentence examples for be under selection for from inspiring English sources

While mice in general show sexual size dimorphism and are, under natural conditions, likely to be under selection for larger males to some degree, the specific selective regime applied to the strains used in our study does not suggest a sex difference.

The concept that some large fraction of some introns may be under selective constraint for a specific function does not negate the possibility that neutral segments of the same intron may be under selection for transcriptional efficiency.

The top genomic regions found to be under selection for yield in inner rows and outer rows did not coincide.

(3) Is there evidence for covariation between positions in the genome that confer resistance to drugs and other positions, unrelated to drug resistance, that may be under selection for other phenotypes?

Because of the potential benefits of being recognised by mothers, pup vocalisations are likely to be under selection for individual distinctiveness [43], but must still develop a level of consistency to allow for recognition.

In contrast to the constrained major energy metabolism pathways, the aliphatic glucosinolate biosynthetic pathway showed significantly elevated pathway level transcript CV in both accession experiments suggesting that the transcripts in this pathway may be under selection for increased diversity.

For example, archeological evidence shows that corn cob form was under selection for thousands of years, and ancient DNA evidence indicates that even genes of large effect were present in maize at least 4,400 years ago but still were not fixed by 2,000 years ago (Jaenicke-Després et al. 2003).

Traditionally, the loci chosen for MLST analyses are based on 6 10 housekeeping genes that are under selection for metabolic functionality [15].

Expression patterns of genes have been under selection for eons and, as a result, cell types and tissues differ from each other both morphologically and functionally.

Alternatively, Z-linkage would also mean that any such telomerase-regulating genes would spend two thirds of their lives being under selection for a more male-beneficial genotype (since females are ZW heterozygotes).
