Based at the Division of Human Biology in the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, Mefford focused on a block containing olfactory receptor genes, studying the region's biological relevance and how it is passed on between different chromosomes during evolution.
This may explain [3] how synchronous spike activity is passed on between large groups of neurons over many synaptic steps in the presence of high levels of background activity to produce the precisely timed spike patterns observed in vivo [2], [43] [45] and in vitro [46].
"This strongly suggests that access to the best soils was being passed on between generations," Bickle said.
During summer's period of high activity, bees live just 35 days, so the colony that collapsed contained the next generation of bees, indicating that the effect may have been passed on between generations.
Comparisons have long been drawn between evolution and changes in language, with experts noting that preferences such as a desire for emphasis can act as a type of "natural selection", affecting which words or forms of grammar are passed on between generations.
We recently flew to Taiwan to attend a raucous funeral, featuring traditional live bands and a feast for more than 100 people, and traveled to the tiny hamlet where ban-doh cuisine was born, to see how the fading role of the village chef is being passed on between generations.
We scan sampled the number of trophallaxis events within the hive when unscented or scented sucrose solution was being passed on between nest mates in the colony.
Health literacy has been found to be distributed through family and social networks [ 40], where resources such as knowledge, support for health decision making and communication with health care professionals are passed on between close relations.
This leaves the heterochromatin as a major, multi megabase-sized sequence haploblock that may be passed on between generations without modification, and without the need of having to fulfil any requirements of sequence collinearity.
The study of inheritance systems is aimed at identifying and classifying the various mechanisms and processes of heredity, the types of hereditary information that is passed on by each, the functional interaction between the different systems, and the evolutionary consequences of these properties.
It was where the spirit of Doctor Who survived, was passed on, between writers, fans, the official magazine – which, astonishingly, managed to turn out a monthly issue for the entire 16 years the show was off-air – and unofficial fanzines and enthusiasts.
