Sentence examples for genetic color from inspiring English sources

Most so-called white squirrels in North America are genetic color variants of the gray species, not unlike the fairly common black squirrel.

(C ) Heat map of genetic differentiation (color scale indicates SNP differences).

Fig. 1 Schematic of the genetic basis of color vision in humans: a Color blindness is a recessive sex-linked trait found on the X chromosome.

We use models based on explicit genetic mechanisms for color vision and nuptial coloration.

This might indicate a role for local genetic drift on color morph frequency divergence, although it is likely that these color morphs are maintained by long-term balancing selection, given the trans-species nature of these polymorphisms.

These data facilitate comparative mapping work on the genetic basis of color pattern variation and convergence in Heliconius, including efforts to positionally clone the color pattern genes themselves.

However, although we suggest there is a genetic correlation of color and ecology in Midas cichlids, it so far remains unclear whether the color polymorphism constitutes pleiotropy, a single-locus "magic trait" [ 10] or tight physical linkage of the color gene and the genes that bring about eco-morphological differentiation [ 8].

"There is a striking correspondence between the coat-color patterns of horses painted in Paleolithic caves of France with what geneticists found in the genotypes" — the specific genetic sequences — "of color genes," said Hopi E. Hoekstra, an evolutionary biologist at Harvard who studies pigmentation.

Understanding the developmental genetic basis of color differences in Drosophila could provide inroads to classic evolutionary problems such as industrial melanism, mimicry and phenotypic convergence.

(2) Does genetic ancestry or color better predict variation in arterial blood pressure?

Thus, neither genetic ancestry nor color is a strong predictor of the other, making it necessary to measure each variable separately.
