Sentence examples for because of selection for from inspiring English sources

Studies showed that highly expressed genes were more important to an organism and thus subject to greater selective constraint and these genes usually had greater codon bias because of selection for translation efficiency [ 5, 13, 33, 43, 44].

Or, as in Fig. 5a, fish lineages that originally had different body patterns might independently evolve analogous vertical stripes, perhaps because of selection for a particular camouflage pattern.

One such source of evidence is deviation in GC content because of selection for transcriptional efficiency [15], [16], [19].

However, our results combined with other studies discussed below, suggest that some epithelial tumors or hyperplasias do not carry activating mutations in Kras because of selection for other mechanisms that upregulate Kras activity.

Hsp90 almost certainly originated as a chaperone for general protein folding and stability, and it seems much more likely it was later co-opted for the benefits of regulated signal transduction rather than because of selection for developmental stability.

Additionally, many neoplasms eventually become resistant to conventional chemotherapy because of selection for multidrug-resistant variants [ 2].

Our results thus support the conclusion that molecular genetic variation is not suitable to predict the short-term evolutionary potential of populations or population divergence, because of the importance of selection for the variation in quantitative traits (Reed and Frankham, 2001).

The fractional interval systematic sample selection procedure was used in the systematic selection of the branches because it ensures the equal probability of selection for all the branches (Temesgen et al. 2011).

Although not examined cytologically, this is likely to be the case with D. polymorpha as well, because like D. mercatorum, after generations of selection for parthenogenesis, only a low percentage of eggs successfully developed (Stalker 1954).

These forces mitigate the strength of selection for paternal care because as fewer males monopolize reproduction, kin competition between the offspring of a male increases.

There was a very strong dose-response association between intellectual capacity and type of education, a result that was predetermined because intellectual capacity inheres in the process of selection for the different types of education.
