"genetic cost" is a correct and usable phrase in written English.
It can be used in a scientific or biological context to refer to the amount of genetic resources or energy required for a particular physiological process or trait. It can also be used in a figurative sense to describe any negative effects or consequences associated with a certain genetic factor or condition. Example: "The evolution of larger brains in humans came at a high genetic cost, as it required a significant amount of energy and resources."
That means there is little genetic cost to the parent that deserts first.In this section Seven-year twitch Whodunnit?
In addition to the well-studied genetic cost of inbreeding depression, selfing imposes a mating cost whenever self-pollination reduces opportunities for pollen export.
Deborah Bower and her colleagues at JCU and WSU wanted to know if invasiveness also came with a genetic cost for cane toads, one of the most invasive species in Australia.
Although it is interesting to learn about the phenotypes of ancient horses, such as the coat color patterns and whether they were gaited, the genomic data provide a sobering look at the genetic cost of domestication for horses.
Specifically, the tradeoff hypothesis implies that the resource acquisition strategy underlying high flexibility in reproductive investment should suffer the genetic cost of higher adult mortality.
The hypothesis is that the genetic cost associated with the ace.1R allele may modulate the expression of salivary proteins in C. quinquefasciatus salivary glands.
The complexity of the picture exemplifies how challenging the measure of genetic costs of phenotypic plasticity remains [52] [54].
This finding indicates that there may be intrinsic genetic costs associated with adaptation to variable environments [ 58- 60].
Regardless, our heuristic analyses should be considered as suggestive of potential demographic and genetic costs and not demonstrative.
The analysis of immunological deployment costs can focus on physiological costs, (i.e., the immediate cost of immune system activation), or evolutionary (genetic) costs, (i.e., whether there is genetic variation for the physiological cost experienced).
The expression of phenotypic or genetic costs of resistance varied depending on the age of the birds and ascites incidence in a population.
