Sentence examples for by natural selection using from inspiring English sources

In another exercise, students examine the basis of genetic variation necessary for evolution by natural selection using virtual gel electrophoresis (Toth et al. 2009).

Prior to evolution instruction, we measured students' initial knowledge and understanding of the five key principles of evolution by natural selection, using both the CINS and the Dino Problem.

This article adds to this forum by describing a classroom exercise that effectively teaches the basic principles of quantitative genetics to students, allowing them to directly test the theory of evolution by natural selection using a standard deck of playing cards.

This also is how Darwin's contemporary, Alfred Russel Wallace, who independently formulated the idea of evolution by natural selection, used the term in his book Darwinism (1889).

We assigned students to treatments (the physical or virtual simulation activity) by section and assessed their understanding of natural selection using a multiple-choice pre-/post-test and short-answer responses on a post-lab assignment.

GA simulates natural selection, using imitative processes of the nature such as crossover, mutation, or selection.

On the long-response test item, where students wrote a paragraph explaining how natural selection works, the number of principles of natural selection used by students was nearly identical before and after instruction (Fig. 5).

Evolving resistance need not require complex genetic changes, so mutants with this trait presumably arose repeatedly, only to be rejected by natural selection until herbicide use made the trait beneficial.

Genetic algorithm pertains to the larger class of evolutionary algorithms (EA) which generate solutions of optimization problems using techniques derived by natural selection (Sadeghi et al. 2011).

This article adds to this growing forum by describing a classroom exercise that introduces the concept of evolution by natural selection in a hypothesis-driven, experimental fashion, using a deck of cards.

Genetic algorithm (GA) is a well-known stochastic search method and belongs to the larger class of evolutionary algorithms (EA) which solve optimization problems using techniques inspired by natural selection in biological evolution.
