Sentence examples for deleterious nature from inspiring English sources

Their deleterious nature results in natural selection playing an important role in restraining the proliferation of TEs in many host populations.

For the successful establishment of retrogenes in the genome (including the acquisition of regulatory elements, and their sometimes deleterious nature), see Vinckenbosch, N., Dupanloup, I., and Kaessmann, H. 2006.

I can describe, without ever actually accomplishing it, how easily the moment, and the whole of the trip surrounding it, might be made into an instructive if all-too-familiar parable on the deeply fraught and too often deleterious nature of such well-meaning encounters between members of developed and developing countries.

Views which attribute randomness to molecular change, deleterious nature to single-gene mutations, insufficient geological time, or population size for molecular improvements to occur, or invoke "design creationism" to account for complexity in molecular structures and biological processes, are unfounded.

In a general way therefore, stress concentration factors decrease on the brace and chord members (in the vicinity of the weld) and increase considerably in the notch, which underscores the deleterious nature of such a defect.

The deleterious nature of foreign bodies or other forms of inhomogeneities, e.g.: pores or de-bonded zones within a microstructure are related to their size, position, shape, orientation and physical properties.

Because mutations in constrained genes are highly deleterious in nature, they do not typically spread through populations.

In both cases, polymorphisms that are strongly deleterious in nature were likely removed from the strains prior to sequencing.

With population sizes of many vertebrates decreasing and isolation increasing through habitat fragmentation and loss, understanding the extent and nature of deleterious variation in small populations is essential for predicting and enhancing population persistence.

(Further criticisms of this hypothesis are discussed in the article Evolution of sexual reproduction#Removal of deleterious genes) The random nature of recombination causes the relative abundance of alternative traits to vary from one generation to another.

This will help us understand not only the nature of deleterious mutations, but also the evolutionary nature of the occurrence of single amino acid variations.
