Sentence examples for parental environments from inspiring English sources

When athletes claim that they are not role models, it only reveals that they do not have the character or integrity, nor do they want the responsibility, to be examples for the American youth, who do not have strong parental environments and turn to our athletes for inspiration.

In Pinus pinaster, parental environmental effects on seed mass partially explained variation in germination timing between contrasting parental environments [ 33].

Fitness reductions due to mal-adaptation to parental environments and genomic-level incompatibilities that are typical of hybrids have been experimentally demonstrated using crosses between Microbotryum species.

The existence of genetic variation in the reaction norm for a phenotypic response to parental environments further underlines the importance of environmental parental effects in the evolution of plasticity in natural populations.

Because we detected genetic variation in parental environmental effects (GxPE) on the expression levels of stored seed transcripts, we analyzed TN1.13, TN1.15, TN7.22 and TN8.22 separately, and detected 1195, 327, 125 and 82 genes differentially expressed between parental environments, respectively.

If environmental parental effects are important in natural populations, genetic differentiation among populations in reaction norms induced by parental environments may be fairly common, as is the case for the differential expression of other types of phenotypic plasticity [ 10].

If the elevation of the slope is correlated with fitness, then hybrids should perform consistently better than one parent but worse than the other in either parental environment.

Moreover, there is a dynamic equilibrium between genetic stability (the capacity of individuals to produce offspring adapted to the parental environment) and genetic variability (the capacity to produce offspring with requirements that are different from those of their parents).

Evidence is accumulating that the quality of the parental environment is associated with oxytocin biology in children.

The present study was designed to examine the interaction of the single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) rs2254298 within the oxytocin receptor (OXTR) gene and quality of parental environment in predicting children's psychosocial functioning.

More specifically, in a sample of 92 Caucasian adolescent girls (9 14 years old), we examined whether adverse parental environment, operationalized as mothers' history of recurrent major depressive disorder, interacts with the rs2254298 SNP on the OXTR gene to predict daughters' symptoms of depression and anxiety.
