Sentence examples for divergent trait from inspiring English sources
Progeny clones were consistent with Mendelian inheritance, but triploids were also recovered; divergent trait inheritance was observed among the progeny.
Thus, fluctuating selection could alternately select against divergent trait values.
In the second case, the divergent trait appears as a new trait in sympatry in response to the presence of heterospecific competitors.
The divergent trait with the largest numbers of significant associations with AFLP alleles, across all lake flocks, was gill-raker number (19 loci), followed by LM PC 1 (jaw widths) (eight), spawning depth (six), spawning date (four), GM PC 2 (head length), LM PCs 2 (eye and head size) and 3 (skull widths)(each two).
In the first case, the divergent trait is present in an ancestral allopatric population, but its frequency increases after secondary contact in sympatry as a result of competitively mediated selection or biased colonization and extinction, which might not represent ecological character displacement [ 40].
Speciation is best identified by using a suite of divergent traits including reproductive isolation, morphology, ecological and physiological differences facilitated by genetic divergence.
Gene sequence information of the NU varieties is useful to explore divergent traits and their origin.
It involves natural selection cleaving off individuals with highly divergent traits within populations and favoring slightly different sets of traits within populations in each generation amid ongoing environmental change.
We characterized their divergent traits and described these new gene pools in a study that should prove useful in understanding rice evolution and to support genetic improvement of modern cultivars.
Subculturing with a large bottleneck may, however, generate a diverse mixture of bacterial cells with divergent traits within the bacterial community.
Altogether, data are suggestive of genome behavior in the two cryptic species with shared and divergent traits.
