Sentence examples for contributing to adaptation from inspiring English sources
One possible explanation is that directional selection on the loci responsible for fitness related traits such as frost tolerance might reduce diversity within locally adapted populations due to an increase in the frequency of alleles contributing to adaptation [ 56].
As a foundation for identifying genetic variation contributing to adaptation to diverse environments, a 1001 Genomes Project to sequence geographically diverse A. thaliana strains has been initiated.
However, few pathways such as tetrahydrofolate biosynthesis were found to be variable and could be contributing to adaptation towards virulence such as antibiotic resistance.
In contrast, the evidence for the involvement of TEs in the generation of natural Drosophila inversions, i.e. those effectively contributing to adaptation and/or evolution of natural populations, is scarce (see Introduction).
In bacteria and fungi HGT is a strong evolutionary force contributing to adaptation and colonization of challenging environments.
Thus, most substitutions are of intermediate effect with only a few large-effect alleles contributing to adaptation.
The next section provides some examples of breeding programmes that have identified desirable genetics contributing to adaptations of temperate cattle breeds to unfavourable tropical environments.
Synonymous mutations can thus contribute to adaptation and be positively selected.
If this interpretation is correct, then we should occasionally expect to see strongly beneficial synonymous mutations that are positively selected and contribute to adaptation.
Synonymous mutations have been shown to impact gene expression, protein folding and fitness, however, direct evidence that they can be positively selected, and so contribute to adaptation, is lacking.
Adaptation was not considered dependent on resistance strategy: according to the experts, resistance actions are not needed to implement or to support the effectiveness of actions that contribute to adaptation.
