While it might seem more efficient for an organism to reproduce without the need for a second sex, his Red Queen hypothesis maintained that sexual reproduction beats the asexual kind because the former multiplies the possible genetic combinations, bolstering a species' ability to respond to an enemy's adaptations.
It's more efficient to borrow organisms for a study than to mount expeditions to far-flung locales to collect them.
These structures were visible in the biofilms (Fig. 5B) and may have served to increase the surface area allowing more efficient attachment of micro-organisms to the substratum.
The purpose of this metabolic reprogramming of tumour cells is not only to increase the energy output in these cells but it is also to maximize the biosynthetic pathways of the malignant cells to turn them into more efficient and self-sustaining organisms [ 25– 27].
In marine environment, aquatic organisms are more efficient indicators than water and sediment because aquatic organisms demonstrate the bioavailable fraction of contaminants and hence reflect the direct risk (Phillips 1990; Chakraborty et al. 2014).
Now a study suggests that part of the answer may be that some organisms are more efficient at weeding useless DNA out of their genome.
(The team says they're still working on how other marine creatures like anemones and bacteria avoid such gruesome fates at the most extreme depths, but they suspect those organisms produce more efficient protein boosters than fish can).
Then, accompanying the appearance of proteinacious enzymes, the proto-organisms would be more efficient in metabolism and replication, and less limited in the genome size, hence evolving towards modern organisms.
We reasoned that the nonhomologous end-joining (NHEJ) repair pathway, which is preferentially used rather than HR by most organisms (Bozas et al. 2009), should be more efficient for targeted gene insertion in whole organisms.
One possible way to discover new targets to enhance remyelination is to study organisms that are more efficient at regeneration.
