Sentence examples for organisms performance from inspiring English sources

One of the big surprises of the extensive use of the technology of targeted gene knockout has been that genes thought to be indispensable for a particular function, when knocked out, did not alter or at least did not significantly alter the organisms performance.

One aspect of quality is whole-organism performance, defined as any quantitative measure of how well an organism performs an ecologically relevant, dynamic behaviour [ 2].

Organism performance and technology readiness are categorized as near-term (<5 years), mid-term (5 10 years), and long-term (>10 years) process deployment.

With an overwhelming number of environmental factors impacting organisms, and increasing exposure to novel and extreme conditions, the mechanistic nature of the DEB model with its ability to incorporate more than the standard food and temperature variables provides a powerful tool to verify hypotheses and predict individual organism performance across a range of conditions.

The direct effects of climate change alter organism performance via ro, while the indirect effects mediated by competitors emerge from changes in the second term.

Natural selection will act most directly on whole organism performance, not underlying physiological capacities (Garland & Carter, 1994, Garland & Losos, 1994), so whole organism performance should correlate with behavioural ecology more closely than lower-level traits like physiological abilities.

These species rely primarily on their hind limbs for propulsion during locomotion, and it is thought that their relatively longer hind limb bones improve whole organism performance during locomotion by reducing the metabolic cost of transport [ 18- 20].

However, β-oxidation is one of the major energy sources for the cells and mutation of genes involved in this pathway could lead to a decrease of the organism performance.

When screened against the test organisms, the performance of the synthesized colloidal AgNPs from diethyl ether extract of W. americana root (WARDEEP) showed a more improved efficacy than other solvent extracts or their synthesized AgNPs.

Formally, the BAH has been defined as '…acclimation to a particular environment gives an organism a performance advantage in that environment…' (Leroi et al. 1994).

This "selfish genes" school of thought has much to commend itself by, because if we focus on the short-term, it looks indeed as though TEs just "replicate themselves" and are not really needed for the organism's performance; if anything, they can cause disease.
