For four traits exhibiting a range of heterosis – plant height, cob diameter, cob weight, and total kernel weight – we developed predictive linear regression models using phenotype of the inbred parent, genetic distance between parents and relative maturity distance as well as all possible interaction terms (Table 4) as predictor variables.
The complex aura in siblings IV:4 and IV 6 exhibited a common trait, namely, the feeling of time travel.
The animal seemed to exhibit a mixture of traits from early birds and their dinosaur predecessors, fitting within the pattern of authentic feathered dinosaurs that were just beginning to be described in the peer-reviewed literature.
Although less often studied, many representative groups of Gram-positive bacteria, particularly those belonging to genus Streptomyces, exhibit a range of traits that may improve plant growth by using different mechanisms [7].
While most people exhibit a combination of traits, most workplaces have representatives of these two personality types: introvert and extrovert.
Offspring exhibit a hodgepodge of traits, so there is no point in saving seeds from hybrid plants.
However, unlike modern athericid larvae, the fossil larvae exhibit a combination of traits adapted to hematophagy and ectoparasitism (which involves an organism spending a significant part of its life cycle on its host; Balashov, 2006).
We tested four models to detect associations between SNP markers and SSR resistance, a trait that exhibited a heritability of 67%.
Further analysis on a larger data set established that the aortic dissection trait exhibited a penetrance of 28% (63/225 +/ Col3a1▵ animals) in the experimental population, suggesting that the condition had a complex genetic aetiology (Table 1 ).
Mr. Epstein exhibits a mix of personality traits that put him in a category known as the corporate savior.
Inbred for the purposes of experimentation, they exhibit a number of infelicitous traits, including a susceptibility to obesity, a taste for morphine, and a tendency to nibble off their cage mates' hair.
