These terms should be replaced with something more appropriate for molecular evolutionary processes.
On the other hand individual-based models such as cellular automata (CA) are more appropriate when the evolutionary dynamics of individual cells must be considered.
Houle (1992) proposed 'evolvability' (termed the additive genetic coefficient of variation) as a more appropriate measure of evolutionary potential, where additive genetic variance is standardized using the population trait mean and hence made independent of other variance components (i.e. nonadditive and environmental variance components) (Houle 1992; Hansen et al. 2011).
Therefore, a tree cannot aptly represent an evolutionary history; a more appropriate representation of the evolutionary relationships between duplication blocks is a DAG in which the vertices represent duplication blocks and an edge directed from a vertex X to a vertex Y indicates that substrings of X were duplicated in the construction of Y.
Although Brazilian students show more difficulty on accepting the biological bases of altruism, it would be more appropriate to discuss its evolutionary bases instead of those behaviors in which the evolutionary bases are already well accepted by them.
As we know, impulsive differential equations are more appropriate for characterizing ecological evolutionary process (for example, seasonal births of some wild animals).
This genome editing technique makes it possible to conduct reverse genetic analysis in D. pulex, making this species an even more appropriate model organism for environmental, evolutionary, and developmental genomics.
Instead, Houle (1992) argued that the coefficient of additive genetic variance (CV A ), where additive genetic variance is scaled by the trait mean, is a more appropriate measure when comparing the evolutionary potential of quantitative traits.
Would an evolutionary process be more appropriate?
Therefore, rather than attempting to change beliefs a more appropriate objective is increasing students' acceptance of evolutionary theory (Smith and Siegel 2004).
