Sentence examples for consequent fitness from inspiring English sources

The consequent fitness advantage of the cooperating replicators had set the retroevolutionary machinery in motion, to catalyse an expanding network of metabolic (or other beneficial) reactions.

High levels of insulin growth factor-1 (IGF-1) promote infant and childhood growth and presumably were selected for their consequent fitness advantage, but in later life are associated with higher rates of prostate and breast cancer.

After the acquisition of the first D oncogenic mutations, and consequent increase in fitness, an additional C D oncogenic mutations must occur to complete the transformation to a malignant lineage (Figure 1B).

Escape from targeting by mutagenesis at conserved regions may be restricted by a consequent loss of viral fitness.

The evolution of host defense mechanisms frequently cause a decreased parasite fitness and consequent counteradaptations of the parasite may result in an escalation of the host parasite interaction (i.e., coevolutionary arms races; Dawkins and Krebs 1979).

Indeed, small populations can undergo genetic drift and biparental inbreeding with consequent loss of genetic diversity and fitness (Keller and Waller 2002; Reed and Frankham 2003; Gargano et al. 2015).

The literature from many countries over several decades shows a clear pattern of short term barriers to increased activity preventing children and young people with asthma attaining long term physical fitness with all its consequent benefits to lung health, general health, social and psychological well-being.

Our proposal that diversity is maintained through clonal interference among independently acquired CRISPR variants depends upon there being a fitness advantage to resistance and consequent cost of viral infection.

However, disease genes of both modes of inheritance that result in severe phenotypes (i.e. death before reproductive age) are more conserved than genes in which the consequent disease does not severely affect the reproductive fitness of an individual.

In particular, if transmission is neutral it can be concluded from the severe bottleneck reported here that the consequent genetic drift will be strong, with negative consequences for viral fitness.

Through targeted reviews and original investigations, environmental heat, hydration and physiological strain are explored; consequent effects on performance, fatigue and recovery are examined and popular fitness testing protocols are addressed.
