This heterogeneity reflects physiologic, biochemical and genetic processes that are amenable to characterisation by functional imaging.
It has been applied in a variety of situations to show that Kingman's coalescent is robust to deviations from Kingman's original assumptions, but also to describe an augmented set of ancestral genetic processes that are closely related to Kingman's coalescent; see Wakeley (2008) for a review.
Here we attempt to outline a fourth path by arguing that tree representation of evolution is not only reasonable but is the only natural one because it is inseparable from the mode of replication of the genetic material, the key biological process that is both necessary and sufficient for evolution to occur.
Her bees are impersonal agents of the foxglove's genetic imperative to reproduce in a process that is "undistracted by a Mind, or a Design, or by desire", and none the less miraculous for it.
The loss of genetic material is a dynamic, ongoing process that is not specific for one country, but observed in several areas of the world.
Panicle branching is a highly complex process that is influenced by genetic, hormonal and environmental factors (see [ 2] for a review of the genetic and molecular bases of rice yield).
The design of organisms comes about by genetic mutation and natural selection, in a process that is creative through the interaction of chance and necessity.
Aging is a multidimensional process that is influenced by genetic polymorphisms, nutrition, lifestyle and overall health status [2], [3].
Despite these advances, it remains clear that leaf area development is a highly complex process that is influenced by genetic, hormonal and environmental factors.
Aging is considered a multifactorial process that is controlled by genetic and environmental factors and ultimately leads to deterioration of body and organ functions.
